Mastering Regular Expressions (1998), by Jeffrey E. F. Friedl, shows 
acronyms in titles in a smaller all-caps size.  There is a Perl chapter 
with titles including "Modification with \Q and Friends: True Lies", 
"The /e Modifier", and "Using /g with a Regex That can Match 
Nothingness".  The "\Q", "/e", and "/g" in those titles are in a 
monospace typewriter font.  This is an O'Reilly book, but most of the 
other O'Reilly books I checked use the same font for all of the title.

C Programming, A Modern Approach (2008), by K. N. King, has a Loops 
chapter with section titles like "The while Loop" and "The do 
Statement", where "while" and "do" are in a monospace typewriter font.

Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment (2001), by W. Richard 
Stevens, has section titles like "stat, fstat, and lstat Functions", 
"Streams and FILE Objects", and "pty_fork Function".  The keywords are 
in a monospace typewriter font.

UNIX System Administration Handbook (2001), by Evi Nemeth, shows 
keywords in the same font, but bold.  In "The /etc/ttys and /etc/ttytab 
files", the filenames are bold.
