Put it in a CDATA section, and put the CDATA section inside a <code> element so it will be formatted correctly:

/// <example>
/// <code>
/// <![CDATA[ 
/// <someXml>
///     ...
/// </someXml>
/// ]]>
/// </code>
/// </example>

Press '/' (slash) 3 times in the code file and it will open a code summary section. You can paste your xml on that section.
