I think that the correct markup for this is:
<screen>
<prompt>bash$</prompt> <command>command</command>
</screen>
if you want the command line outside the paragraph and 
<prompt>bash$</prompt> <command>command</command> if you want 
the command line inside the paragraph.  The <screen> tag is 
optional.

You might also want to bookmark http://www.docbook.org/tdg/html/docbook.html
too.  This is a complete reference to DocBook by its main developer Norman
Walsh.
