Since SE supports partial HTML tags, it will try to render any HTML-like tags (e.g. XML), even if they are invalid. To prevent it from being rendered, you need to replace "<" character with &lt;.

> &lt;from>Jani&lt;/from>  
> &lt;heading>Reminder&lt;/heading>  
> &lt;body>Don't forget me this weekend!&lt;/body>  
> &lt;/note>

will be rendered as

Text

<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

Alternatively, just use code-block inside the quote-block. In this case, the XML syntax can be pasted directly without needing to replace "<" characters.
