[Introduction]
    I have been making several text retrieving tools, i.e. KKC, Corpus Wizard. 
There was a preposition that there are no attributes in text files, no italics,
no bold, no underlines. Now there are many, many, many files which contains 
attributes, HTML, RTF, TeX, etc.
    This is the utility which uses these attributes.
