Description (last modified by azaozz)

Both are "dead" functions not used anywhere in core. Seem like left overs from the post types code in 3.6.

get_media_embedded_in_content() is buggy: cannot handle nested <object> tags (which were popular few years ago for embedding flash) and doesn't match short ended tags without a slash at the end.

get_tag_regex() is also buggy, see #26674. It was used in get_media_embedded_in_content() before [31574]. Not used anywhere since then.
