Comment (by afercia):

 hi,
 playing with the [http://wordpress.org/themes/singl Singl theme] today I
 noticed the mess when there are multiple embeds of the same type, and came
 to a patch very similar to @Kopepasah one. I've seen also related #26675.
 Just one thing about the regex: self-closing embed tags may or may not
 have a trailing space and slash so I would just change the last part with
 this

 {{{
 |\s*?\/?>
 }}}

 where first ? makes the space quantifier lazy and second ? makes the slash
 optional.
 The unit test should also be updated to test for a self-closing tag
 without space nor slash.
