 ## Why is my file not formatted?
 
 Most likely because it is ignored in `.gitignore` or excluded with configuration. See
 [file collection and discovery](usage_and_configuration/file_collection_and_discovery.md)

+## Why is my Jupyter Notebook cell not formatted?
+
+_Black_ is timid about formatting Jupyter Notebooks. Cells containing any of the
+following will not be formatted:
+
+- automagics (e.g. `pip install black`)
+- non-Python cell magics (e.g. `%%writeline`)
+- multiline magics, e.g.:
+
+  ```python
+  %timeit f(1, \
+          2, \
+          3)
+  ```
+
+- code which `IPython`'s `TransformerManager` would transform magics into, e.g.:
+
+  ```python
+  get_ipython().system('ls')
+  ```
+
+- invalid syntax, as it can't be safely distinguished from automagics in the absence of
+  a running `IPython` kernel.

 ## Does Black support Python 2?
 

-For formatting, yes! [Install](getting_started.md#installation) with the `python2` extra
-to format Python 2 files too! There are no current plans to drop support, but most
-likely it is bound to happen. Sometime. Eventually. In terms of running _Black_ though,
-Python 3.6 or newer is required.
+Support for formatting Python 2 code was removed in version 22.0.
+
+## Why does my linter or typechecker complain after I format my code?
+
+Some linters and other tools use magical comments (e.g., `# noqa`, `# type: ignore`) to
+influence their behavior. While Black does its best to recognize such comments and leave
+them in the right place, this detection is not and cannot be perfect. Therefore, you'll
+sometimes have to manually move these comments to the right place after you format your
+codebase with _Black_.
+
+## Can I run Black with PyPy?
+
+Yes, there is support for PyPy 3.7 and higher.
+
+## Why does Black not detect syntax errors in my code?
+
+_Black_ is an autoformatter, not a Python linter or interpreter. Detecting all syntax
+errors is not a goal. It can format all code accepted by CPython (if you find an example
+where that doesn't hold, please report a bug!), but it may also format some code that
+CPython doesn't accept.
