The only other thing that works today that I'm aware of is you surround
your text with equal signs as in =[0]= but this also probably doesn't do
exactly what you want for both LaTeX and HTML export.  This uses \texttt
in LaTeX and <code>...</code> in HTML.

In HTML you're free to defined CSS for the <code> block but you won't
end up with a verbatim block in LaTeX.  I proposed the two previous
examples because preceeding the text with ': ' creates
a \begin{verbatim} block in LaTeX.

If you document is targeted only for LaTeX export then you can use LaTeX
macros directly in the source.
