What if my layout gives me room for 8 average words per line,
and then I need to insert a couple of lines of sample code
or text-screen dialog, each of which is about 17 words?
And then a little later in that chapter, I have a paragraph
of introductory text, followed by 14 pages of monospaced
sample code, followed by a three-line paragraph of ordinary
text, followed by another ten pages of sample code.

What would be the subtle-yet-effective approach, there?

Have you investigated using a light gray background for 'special' text (like code samples)?

Regards
Jan Henning
