I rearranged your question a little in order to make it clean enough to be tagged faq - just like the corresponding question on meta.SO. I hope that is ok. (It makes a mess of the comments, but we can delete those!)– SimonJan 20, 2012 at 9:02

The html tag to produce the any key is
<kbd>any</kbd>
Just to clarify:
Stackexchange sites use an extended version of markdown and allows a certain subset of standard html tags. These tags work in questions, answers and tag wikis. Some stackexchange sites (including the Mathematica one) also allow for LaTeX via MathJax (you can thank the guys at mathoverflow for getting this working first).
The comments only allow a small subset of markdown and AFAIK none of the html tags. See the end of this meta.SO answer.
For examples of some more extreme uses of the allowed markdown, see the meta.SO sandbox
