How would I grab this following title text between all this tags and symbols

How would I grab this following title text between all this tags and symbols ?

What I need to grab:

Some Title Here v1.2.3 Some Other Description About the Title in Here

Example source code:

<body><pre>=============================================================
Some Title Here v1.2.3 Some Other Description About the Title in Here
=============================================================

some other data here but I don't care about it ...

</pre></body></html>

I’ve tried doing this, but it grabs whole top part too before pre tag even, but bellow part seems to work fine, except that it also grabs = symbols.

sed -n '/<pre>=/,/=/p

Result from this above sed code is:

<body><pre>=============================================================
Some Title Here v1.2.3 Some Other Description About the Title in Here
=============================================================

Any feedback about this would be apreceated. Thank you so much, and as always StackOverflow is the best community for Q’s and A’s =)

    One way using GNU sed:

    sed -n '/<pre>=/,/=/ { //!p }' file.txt

    Result:

    Some Title Here v1.2.3 Some Other Description About the Title in Here

    Explanation:

    //!p simply tells sed to ignore the last match.
