Try this:

JS:

function testdemo() {
   var div = document.getElementById('test');
   div.innerHTML = div.textContent;
}

Jquery:

function testdemo() {
   $('#test').html($('#test').text());
}

jQuery version would be as below:

function testdemo() {
  $("#test").html($("#test").text());
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button onclick="testdemo();">RUN</button>

<div id="test" contenteditable="true">
  
</div>

function testdemo() {
   var div = document.getElementById('test');
   div.innerHTML = div.textContent;
}

<button onclick="testdemo();">RUN</button>

<div id="test" contenteditable="true">
  <b>Lorem ipsum</b> dolor sit amet, <span style="color:red;">ea ignota verear</span> quaerendum
</div>

See if this helps.

function testdemo() {
$('#test').html($('#test').text()).text();​
}
