Maybe an considered-unindented less-than character?

Or:

    The following two code samples function identically:

        $foo = $bar = $baz;

    <

        $bar = $baz; $foo = $bar;

Not exactly *pretty*… but doesn’t overly offend my sense
aesthetic either and also seems to me to reads reasonably
intuitively when looking at the Markdown source.

Or maybe have it look like a horizontal rule:

    The following two code samples function identically:

        $foo = $bar = $baz;

    <<<<

        $bar = $baz; $foo = $bar;
