You should do that in Paragraph::validate. Add some addAuthor method
to LaTeXFeatures.
Presently, LyX files have entries like this:
\change_inserted 0 1180893704
"0" points to an author that is listed in the header. Although this is a
very compact way of storing authors, things become troublesome if the
internal list of authors is not stored in its entirety. However, this is
what we want to achieve in order to resolve our "security" problems.
Question: Would it be possible to change the file format at this stage
of development? E.g., to
\change_inserted "Michael Gerz" 1180893704
If not, we might have to change the author index for *all* changes
before saving a document.
Any comments or suggestions for a better solution?
First off all: I have almost no knowledge of the file format.
My suggestion: If it's possible to store the author list at the end of the file then you could
rebuild the list during the save operation (i.e. start with an empty list add to it every author
that appears during save operation and write the new author index to the file). After that replace
the old list with the new one and write it to the end of file.
