This by the way also would make it possible for other people to further
edit a text (which do not have the plugin, or do not have data associated
with the plug-in).

That can severly limit your possibilities. Assume you are using this
with<br>
KCite, and it produces you the following output:<br>
(Chandresekar and Balasubramaniam, 2000)<br>
If you don't allow line breaks within this output, you can run into very
ugly<br>
paragraphs pretty soon.<br>
<br>
It would be better if the plugin output would be processed by the
normal<br>
kword paragraph layouting code (I just don't have a good idea how that
can be<br>
achieved. But maybe somebody else?)<br>
<br>

Yes, I fully agree with that.<br>
<br>
I am not sure if I got the idea right, but if the content of these fields
is not saved in the KWord document, this means that the plugin functions
are called often (at least once when the document is loaded). Since
generating, for example, a complete literature reference list involves
scanning of one or several KWord documents, a lot of processing and
querying of possibly several data bases, it would be good if that had not
to be done too often.<br>
It would be good if there was also a possibility to store formatted text
in one of these fields so that it stays there until it is overwritten

This by the way also would make it possible for other people to further
edit a text (which do not have the plugin, or do not have data associated
with the plug-in). <br>
