We keep field values and a link to the template version (templates are
never deleted, only superseded) This allows us to regenerate TeX code
exactly (which in turn guarantees pixel-for-pixel the exact same
appearance on any platform), plus we can combine the stored field values with
a different template, if we later discover the wrong form has been used.

Probably, I will ask the maintainer.

If that fails, it may be easier to hack the wxScintilla source ourselves, the 
problem is
this means shipping our own version with gnumed if the changes are rejected 
upstream.
