Convert regex BBcode pattern to HTML regex

I'm working on small project and stuck with bbcode pattern regex convert into html pattern regex.

Currently code working using [pre] [/pre] BBcode; I want to code work HTML regex:

$pattern = '#\[pre\](.*?)\[\/pre\]#si';

$pattern = '#\[.?pre\]#si';

I try to convert it as below, but it's not working (Didn't get expect results):

$pattern = '#\<pre\>(.*?)\<\/pre\>#si';

$pattern = '#\<.?pre\>#si';

I'm not sure how you're using the regex but the following works for me:

<?php
$text = "<pre>regex use check inside pre tag conetent</pre>";
$found = preg_match( '#\<pre\>(.*?)\<\/pre\>#si', $text, $matches);

echo $matches[1]; // prints: "regex use check inside pre tag conetent"
?>
