Regex split into array of pieces

I was wondering how could I split this string 

{{MENU}}<li><a href="{{LINK}}" title="{{TITLE}}"><span>{{TITLE}}</span></a></li>{{/MENU}}

Into array of: 

array(
    "<li><a href=\"",
    "{{LINK}}",
    "\" title=\"",
    "{{TITLE}}",
    "\"><span>",
    "{{TITLE}}",
    "</span></a></li>"
)

It also should work with more different formats like:

{{MENU}}<a href="{{LINK}}" title="{{TITLE}}">{{TITLE}}</a>{{/MENU}}
{{MENU}}<b><a href="{{LINK}}" title="{{TITLE}}">{{TITLE}}</a></b>{{/MENU}}

My problem is that I don't know how to write this complex regex yet.

You can try with preg_split()

$yourArray = preg_split("/({{\w+}})/", $yourText, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
