Incorrect Plist syntax: UnexpectedXmlCharactersExpectedElement (offset 56)

Bug Report

I am migrating from Linux to Windows. Before migrating, my Zola website was working. After migrating to Windows 11, pulling from GitHub and running zola serve, I got the following error:

Error: Failed to serve the site
Error: Invalid syntax theme settings
Error: Reason: Incorrect Plist syntax: UnexpectedXmlCharactersExpectedElement (offset 56)

I am sorry that I can't provide more details: the error is so vague I have no idea where to even start looking.

Environment

Zola version: 0.18.0

Expected Behavior

Tell us what should have happened.

Step to reproduce

For now, the most specific report I can give is:

1. Pull my blog: https://github.com/TeaDrinkingProgrammer/TeaDrinkingProgrammer.github.io
2. run zola serve in the root folder.
3. The error should appear.

Looks like it would be the custom highlight themes not working? Can you comment https://github.com/TeaDrinkingProgrammer/TeaDrinkingProgrammer.github.io/blob/main/config.toml#L77-L81 and see if it works?

I have found the problem: I pushed my Linux symlinks on git and used them on Windows. That doesn't work, of course. I fixed the issue by making Windows symlinks. Thank you for sending me to the right direction.
