sed issues with linebreak on macOS

Hi,

Nice tool!

I found some issues with the sed commands in lines 76--78 of the script.

    sed -e 's/^ *//' \
        -e 's/, /,\n /g' \
        -e 's/}}$/}\n}\n/'

I'm running a macOS High Sierra, so it's probably caused by the subtle differences between the macOS (BSD) sed and GNU sed. I found a simple fix to it—using $'string' and replace \n with \\\n.

Then I found that the script would insert a linebreak at every comma, and this would also apply to the author field, which I suppose is not an intended feature. So I changed it to match ',' only for the first occurrence (basically, the one after the BiBTeX Key field). And '}, ' is then used for inserting a linebreak after each field.

With these changes, I think it will work under both macOS and GNU/Linux (I tested it with gnu-sed).

    sed -e $'s/^ *//' \
        -e $'s/}, /},\\\n  /g' \
        -e $'s/, /,\\\n  /1' \
        -e $'s/}}$/}\\\n}\\\n/'
