 ## 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)
 for details.

+## 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.

+## Can I run Black with PyPy?
+
+Yes, there is support for PyPy 3.7 and higher. You cannot format Python 2 files under
+PyPy, because PyPy's inbuilt ast module does not support this.
+
+## 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.
