Description

Hello,

ud->typeform is an 8-byte value in liblouisxml, while in liblouis it nowadays is a 16-byte value. The whole typeform libxml code needs to be fixed, otherwise it'll be completely wrongly processed by liblouis.

Research direction

Start by tracing the liblouisxml code that manages the ud->typeform value and compare its handling with liblouis, where the value is now 16 bytes rather than 8. Confirm all typeform processing uses the current size and verify that liblouis receives the value without truncation or misprocessing.
