Sometimes, running *Black* with its defaults and passing filepaths to it just won't cut
it. Passing each file using paths will become burdensome, and maybe you would like
*Black* to not touch your files and just output diffs. And yes, you *can* tweak certain
parts of *Black*'s style, but please know that configurability in this area is
purposefully limited.

Using many of these more advanced features of *Black* will require some configuration.
Configuration that will either live on the command line or in a TOML configuration file.

This section covers features of *Black* and configuring *Black* in detail:
