Bold "@" in block quote doesn't render correctly

[Hashiphoto]

Marked version:
1.1.1 and 1.2.4

Describe the bug
We use marked for comments in our app, and having a bold mention in the second line of a block quote doesn't work.

To Reproduce
This input:

> Line 1\n> **@person**

Produces this HTML:

<blockquote>
    <p>
        Line 1
        <br>
        **@person**
    </p>
</blockquote>

I could not repro the bug in the Marked Demo because it does not support newlines/br tags (or I couldn't figure out how to use them).

Expected behavior
The > **@person** line should be wrapped in <strong> tags, but it instead shows the asterisks. This only repros when the bolded mention is after the first line, is at the beginning of the line, and starts with a @.
Expected output

<blockquote>
    <p>
        Line 1
        <br>
        <strong>@person<strong>
    </p>
</blockquote>

According to the Markdown spec, a newline can be triggered by adding two blank spaces or the \ character at the end of a line, followed by a carriage return like so:

> Line 1\
> **@person**

However, you are correct that in this case Marked does not seem to properly render the <strong> tags.

As a temporary workaround, you can type in the <br> directly, which appears to work in the demo.

If you set the breaks option you don't need to escape the new line character.
