Is there a way to make sure that aliases inside formatting can be ignored? We often return output from servers that contain user@machinename and the @machinename might trigger an alias inadvertently.

Example:
user1: something something @alias some other formatted output here
bot: user1, user2 ^

I feel that anything inside the following formatting blocks should not be parsed and echoed out:

`@alias`
```@alias```
> @alias

It seems that if a user uses the same alias more than once in a post, the bot will post back with repeated mappings.

assume that the following map exists in the config
'alias': ['user1', 'user2']

Example:
user: @alias @alias
bot: user1, user2, user1, user2 ^

that's all!
