I have found that contentEditable on pre also works great

<pre id="my_pre" contentEditable="true">
<span style="color:red">red</span><span style="color:blue">blue</span>
</pre>

There is one more question:

I can get the text of my_pre using innerHTML, but in my case I need plain
text (redblue)
Is there any way to extract the text from the pre element without format?
