## Does Black have an API?
Starting in 2022, the formatting output will be stable for the releases made in the same
year (other than unintentional bugs). It is possible to opt-in to the latest formatting
-styles, using the `--future` flag.
+styles, using the `--preview` flag.
## Why is my file not formatted?
## Does Black support Python 2?
-```{warning}
-Python 2 support has been deprecated since 21.10b0.
-
-This support will be dropped in the first stable release, expected for January 2022.
-See [The Black Code Style](the_black_code_style/index.rst) for details.
-```
-
-For formatting, yes! [Install](getting_started.md#installation) with the `python2` extra
-to format Python 2 files too! 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?
sometimes have to manually move these comments to the right place after you format your
codebase with _Black_.
-## Can I run black with PyPy?
+## 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?
-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.
+_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.
