Need to remove text between html tags

Question

I have some content in HTML format and i want to remove Comments Example between the tags.

For eg: Content is like

 <p dir="ltr" id="_13" style="margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: times new roman,times; ">Time span values shall allow creation or retrieval using any of the following units:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Days<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hours<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Minutes<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Seconds<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Milliseconds<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Microseconds</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times; "><b><i>Comments</i></b></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times; "><i> Example</i></span></p>

I want to specifically remove Comments Example. I can fetch it in two separate variables, but basically where they are present consecutively there only it should be removed.

Expected result will be:

<p dir="ltr" id="_13" style="margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: times new roman,times; ">Time span values shall allow creation or retrieval using any of the following units:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Days<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hours<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Minutes<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Seconds<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Milliseconds<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Microseconds</span><br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times; "><b><i></i></b></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: times new roman,times; "><i></i></span></p>

Thanks in advance!!

You can select the element using span:eq() , and then just use text() :

 $('#_13').find('span:eq(1) i').text(''); $('#_13').find('span:eq(2) i').text('');
