    Good day.

      Three "code point" are necessary for the following reasons.

      Paragraph can contain phrases, which need to be noted by
    other colour, size, underlining, weight or oblique drafting -
    let's name these phrases as _fractions_ (fractions can not be enclosed).
    Besides that, it's hardly to imagine modern text without hyper-links.
    Thus we come to special signs for text, like "<" and ">" in html.
      Let's enter control symbols __"beginning of region" and "middle of region"__
    before each fraction, and control symbol __"end of region"__ after each fraction.
    And let's enter special binary structures _"byte-predictor" and "fractional record"_
    between "beginning of region" and "middle of region". I.e.

    text<BytePredictor,FractionalRecord>fraction</>text

    where <, >, </> are "beginning of region", "middle of region", "end of region".
      Byte-predictor consist of 6 bits: 3 of them specify,
    that parameters "color", "fontsize", "number" present in fractional record,
    and next 3 bits specify, that fraction is underlined, bold, oblique.
      Fractional record consist of field "color", "fontsize", "number" and has variable size:
    fields "color", "fontsize", "number" can be in it or not be -
    it's depends of value of identical bits of byte-predictor
    (if they are equal to one, then appropriate field exists in fractional record).
    If these fields exist, then they specify colour, font size and number of fraction. I.e.

    <BytePredictor,color,fontsize,number>fraction</>
