Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Begin by locating the existing predefined UEB and UEB+Nemeth profiles and where users select a profile; clarify the profile fields and editing workflow before implementation. Done means users can define and use a profile for a Braille code APH does not provide, with the expected behavior agreed by maintainers.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently BrailleBlaster has some predefined Braille profiles for UEB, UEB+Nemeth, uncontracted UEB, etc. As maintaining Braille code profiles requires knowledge in the specific Braille code, it may be best to let users define their own Braille profiles for any APH chooses not to provide.
