Biblatex format checking (to complete the debugging system in Latex compilation)

• Identify irregularities in the .bib file (and need to correct it manually)
• Require two inputs as parameters:
  1. [File path] e.g. C:\Users\xinhe\Dropbox\00_reference.bib
  2. Y/n (n by default) to decide whether or not to display all the checked entries.

Suggested format:

• Reference is composed of latin characters, numbers, underline and dash; other symbols or characters with accent is not recommended: e.g. ✅Kunze-Gotte1999 ❌Kunze-Götte1999
• Each line in curly brackets ends with a comma
• No empty line in general curly brackets
• Final right curly brackets take up a full line

Detectable warning/error (after what I commit easily):

• Not recommended bib reference name: there is at least one uncommon caracter in the bib reference
• Last caracter is not comma: if a line ends without a comma, it may trigger some Latex compilation problems (perhaps with a space, or the comma is ignored)
• '&' instead of '\&': A single "&" character causes compilation problems
• Not closed with a '}' or has an empty line inside the curly brackets: The curly brackets are not closed correctly
