builtin entity recognition superseeds NER

[j2l]

Describe the bug It looks like entity is set using builtin enity recognition only. Therefore, you can't extract what you want using regex.

To Reproduce NER: Using the example, {{hashtag}} converts to #proudtobeaxa

Expected behavior It shloud extract proudtobeaxa as %hashtag% since the group doesn't include "#" in the NER regex group.

Additional question Any way to extract 2 groups from regex like /\b\#(\w+)[, ]\#(\w+)\b/ig to %hastag1% %hastag2%?

Hello. Confirmed! About the Additial Question, there is an open issue https://github.com/axa-group/nlp.js/issues/76, I was thinking how to implement it, I think that I have an idea of how to it with the less code impact.

Great! Thanks.

Works in v4, btw (not the additional question).

@jesus-seijas-sp what was your idea? Maybe I can support implementing it :-) entittyname_X is not really working because already used for "same entitiy multiple times".
