I did this before but then got them as paragraphs. Not sure how the
correct term of this is in HTML. pre is not inline but handled as an
own paragraph so that you have an extra line in the rendered HTML
output.

I also agree that the current org html export is not specific enough
here.

My current solution is to convert ~code~ to <code>code</code> and
=verbatim= to <code class="verbatim">verbatim</code>.

In that case the user can decide himself how to render them. In my
default CSS I would render the ~code~ in monospace with a light gray
background (different from the whole page background) and =verbatim=
with monospace only but without extra background color.
