Description

Hello.

I've come from using liblouis c api, where there is no restriction about the typeforms.

Now I'm migrating to java, for platform compatibility, and as I can see there's no way to use typeforms for emphasis as the Typeform constructors are private.

I'm not so good with java so maybe there's something I don't understand, but I can only use the PLAIN_TEXT and COMPUTER typeforms.

Is there any way to use other Typeforms?
or
Is there a reason for not allowing use other Typeforms?

And thanks for develop a very good and useful library.

Research direction

Start by reading the Typeform constructors in the Java binding and comparing the exposed values with the liblouis C API. Determine whether non-PLAIN_TEXT and non-COMPUTER typeforms are intended to be public, then identify the expected Java-facing behavior. Done means the supported typeforms are usable from Java or the limitation and rationale are clearly documented.
