UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0xbd in position 6267: illegal multibyte sequence

This error typically occurs when there is an issue with decoding a byte sequence using the 'gbk' codec, which is a character encoding commonly used for simplified Chinese text. It suggests that there might be a problem with the content of the file being processed, possibly due to an encoding mismatch or an invalid multibyte sequence.

I have followed the instruction and installed the prerequisite and when I run the "mkdocs serve", the error msg is above.

Hey @yanedie ,

Have you tried running it in Python virtual environments instead of directly on your system?

I am not an expert but by means of your logs, i would claim that this isn't a problem of this mkdocs-exporter. I had some issues too with this plugin, but most of the times it was a problem relating to my System or my CI/CD environment, and after i fixed it, the plugin ran without adjustments.

Hello,

I've just released the v4.0.1 which should solve the issue you are currently encountering @yanedie.
