Repository: shyamd/mkdocs-bibtex

Issue:
bibtex makes the normal link in mkdocs not working.
I have made a simple example.

The repo directory tree is:

```
├── docs
│   ├── index.md
│   └── refs.bib
├── mkdocs.yml
```


The `mkdocs.yml` file is:
```yaml
site_name: My site
docs_dir: docs

theme:
  name: material

nav:
  - Home: index.md

plugins:
  - autorefs
  - search
  - bibtex:
      bib_file: 'docs/refs.bib'
```

The file content of `index.md` contains a normal link: `[displaying text](url)`.

```
This is [google](www.google.com).
```

If I use `mkdocs-bibtex==2.14.5`, the link. of `google` is rendered correctly.

But if I use `mkdocs-bibtex==3.0.0`, the link. of `google` is rendered incorrectly.

<img width="530" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5f63851e-7666-4488-ae52-8b436a28ec6d" />


Can you please help with this? Thanks!

Hints from issue comments:
@vinman1: Hello, I confirm experiencing the same issue when upgrading from version `2.21.0` to version `3.0.0`.

Also, The version `3.0.0` seems to also break certain code blocks, e.g. this **mermaid.js** code block no longer works when included with `mkdocs-material`:

```
```mermaid
flowchart LR
    one([Text1])
    two([Text2])
    three([Text3])

    one-->two-->three
```

```mermaid
flowchart LR
    one([Text1])
    two([Text2])
    three([Text3])

    one-->two-->three
```@j-machacek: Hello, just to support this bug report.
We are experiencing the same issues.@shyamd: I'm able to recreate the link example and will release a fix soon. I'm unable to recreate the mermaid JS example to fail. You run `mkdocs build` with `-v` and look at the debug output where it will show you the markdown before and after mkdocs-bibtex processes it. That is the best way to confirm this extension is making the change. @vinman1: thanks @shyamd ! I confirm that your fix in version 4.0.1 has fixed both the normal links and my mermaid JS issue. Much appreciated 🥳
