I will use GIMP2 as an example, when instructing a person to create a Round Button as shown in the below image.

GIMP 2 Menu

Personally any given day I could write and format navigation instructions in many alternative ways;

File > Create > Button > Rounded Button or File > Create > Button > Rounded Button

or even, [File] -> [Create] -> [Button] -> [Rounded Button] if I'm feeling the need to display some flair to my instructions.

Is there a standardised or preferred format of representing navigation instructions for the context/toolbar/other menus and options in questions and answers?

    My recommendation would be: Go easy with the bold and code markup.

Whatever works for you.

Personally I use animated gifs along with the first format but no, we have no standards.
