CodePen Embeds Do Not Follow Our Embed Formula

[michael-tharrington]

Describe the bug

CodePen embeds don't follow the formula we've established for embeds here:

{% embed https://... %}

You can get them to work by using the following embed syntaxes:

{% codpen https://... %}

To Reproduce

1. Try to embed this CodePen on DEV {% embed https://codepen.io/cassidoo/pen/MyaWzp %}
2. It fails.
3. Try to embed a CodePen on DEV with the following syntax:
   {% codepen https://codepen.io/cassidoo/pen/MyaWzp %}
4. It works!

Expected behavior

All embeds should use the following formula: {% embed https://... %}

I do think it'd be ideal if we could still allow folks to use the current formulas too. That way folks who are used to using these formulas don't think something has broken.

Additional context

I tried the formula below and the CodeSandbox embed seems to work fine on dev.to now.
Has this bug already been fixed?
