XML per se does not have any means for formatting, so how you do that
would depend on the XML format you use. Further, XML does not include
means to add structure to attribute values, you would have to define
your own microsyntax (or re-use some other syntax).

Note that

  <x><![CDATA[<p>...</p>]]></x>

and

  <x>&lt;p>...&lt;/p></x>

are equivalent, if such escaped "HTML" is sufficient for your purpose
you could just do

  <x y="&lt;p>...&lt;/p>">...</x>

That's not very good design though. If that does not work for you, I
am afraid there is no solution for your problem.
