Describe the bug

Plain text attached to cucumber JSON is shown as junk characters in the multiple cucumber html report

When the plain text is attached to the scenario world object as shown below, multiple cucumber html report shows it as junk characters.

// Reference Code: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js/blob/main/docs/support_files/attachments.md

After(function () {
this.attach('Some text');
});

In the multiple-cucumber-html-reporter library code, if I comment the base64 conversion as shown below, the generated report shows the correct plain text.

../node_modules/multiple-cucumber-html-reporter/lib/generate-report.js

function _parseSteps(scenario) {
scenario.steps.forEach((step) => {
if (step.embeddings !== undefined) {
step.attachments = [];
step.embeddings.forEach((embedding, embeddingIndex) => {
/* Decode Base64 for Text-ish attachements */
if(
embedding.mime_type === 'text/html' ||
embedding.mime_type === 'text/plain'
) {
// embedding.data = Buffer.from(embedding.data.toString(), 'base64'). //-------> Comment this
}
