To display XML text in a ML text file, you should use the CDATA tag:
CDATA - Wikipedia[^]
XML - CDATA Sections - Tutorialspoint[^]

HTML

<table><tbody><tr><td>Heading1</td> <td>Heading2</td> <td>Heading 3</td></tr><tr><td>value 1</td>  <td>value 2</td><td>
<![CDATA[<arrayofmenu_bo xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<menu_bo>
    <id>2</id>
    <createdby>0</createdby>
    <createdon>0001-01-01T00:00:00</createdon>
    <modifiedby>0</modifiedby>
</menu_bo>
]]>
</td></tr></tbody></table>

Note that I added in bold closing tags which were missing from the XML text you provided.

You'll need to HTML-encode the XML if you want it to appear "as-is" in your HTML document. In particular:

< ⇒ <
> ⇒ >
& ⇒ &

You'll also want to wrap it in a <pre> element to preserve the white-space.

HTML

<pre>
&lt;arrayofmenu_bo xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;
&lt;menu_bo&gt;
    &lt;id&gt;2&lt;/id&gt;
    &lt;createdby&gt;0&lt;/createdby&gt;
    &lt;createdon&gt;0001-01-01T00:00:00&lt;/createdon&gt;
    &lt;modifiedby&gt;0&lt;/modifiedby&gt;
&lt;/menu_bo&gt;
&lt;/arrayofmenu_bo&gt;
</pre>
