[Request] Expose TypeScript types.

Is your request related to a specific problem you’re having? Sometime I want to use some type from Highlight.js internal types. e.g. Language, LanguageFn.
But I can’t use it now.

The solution you’d prefer / feature you’d like to see added… Expose all internal TypeScript types from highlight.js.
So I can use it for more typing.

Any alternative solutions you considered… No.

Additional context… Types should be able to import like this.

import { LanguageFn, Language } from 'highlight.js';

Also, please provide a list. We’re not going to export purely internal types because we do not wish to encourage their use, as anything that is not public API is subject to change at any time - and if you’re consuming it then you do so at your own risk.

Things I see that might be useful for plugin/grammar authors (at a quick glance):

• HLJSOptions
• Language
• LanguageFn
• Mode
• ModeCallback

I really am not familiar with the type publishing types side of this equation. Do you know what that would look like? If I just add export to the types will that magically work?

There is also this which might or might not be related. https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/issues/2682

We only use TypeScript for development listing but if someone knows how to improve this without making it way more complicated I’m all ears.
