+### Line Breaks & Binary Operators
+
+*Black* will break a line before a binary operator when splitting a block
+of code over multiple lines. This is so that *Black* is compliant with the
+recent changes in the [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#should-a-line-break-before-or-after-a-binary-operator)
+style guide, which emphasizes that this approach improves readability.
+
+This behaviour may raise ``W503 line break before binary operator`` warnings in
+style guide enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``W503`` is not PEP 8 compliant,
+you should tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
+
+### Slices
+
+PEP 8 [recommends](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#whitespace-in-expressions-and-statements)
+to treat ``:`` in slices as a binary operator with the lowest priority, and to
+leave an equal amount of space on either side, except if a parameter is omitted
+(e.g. ``ham[1 + 1 :]``). It also states that for extended slices, both ``:``
+operators have to have the same amount of spacing, except if a parameter is
+omitted (``ham[1 + 1 ::]``). *Black* enforces these rules consistently.
+
+This behaviour may raise ``E203 whitespace before ':'`` warnings in style guide
+enforcement tools like Flake8. Since ``E203`` is not PEP 8 compliant, you should
+tell Flake8 to ignore these warnings.
+
+### Parentheses
+
+Some parentheses are optional in the Python grammar. Any expression can
+be wrapped in a pair of parentheses to form an atom. There are a few
+interesting cases:
+
+- `if (...):`
+- `while (...):`
+- `for (...) in (...):`
+- `assert (...), (...)`
+- `from X import (...)`
+
+In those cases, parentheses are removed when the entire statement fits
+in one line, or if the inner expression doesn't have any delimiters to
+further split on. Otherwise, the parentheses are always added.
