-S, --skip-string-normalization
Don't normalize string quotes or prefixes.
+ -N, --skip-numeric-underscore-normalization
+ Don't normalize underscores in numeric literals.
--check Don't write the files back, just return the
status. Return code 0 means nothing would
change. Return code 1 means some files would be
directories that should be excluded on
recursive searches. On Windows, use forward
slashes for directories. [default:

Why settle on double quotes? They anticipate apostrophes in English

+text. They match the docstring standard described in [PEP 257](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/#what-is-a-docstring).
+An empty string in double quotes (`""`) is impossible to confuse with
a one double-quote regardless of fonts and syntax highlighting used.
On top of this, double quotes for strings are consistent with C which
Python interacts a lot with.
### Numeric literals
-*Black* standardizes most numeric literals to use lowercase letters: `0xab`
+*Black* standardizes most numeric literals to use lowercase letters for the
+syntactic parts and uppercase letters for the digits themselves: `0xAB`
instead of `0XAB` and `1e10` instead of `1E10`. Python 2 long literals are
styled as `2L` instead of `2l` to avoid confusion between `l` and `1`. In
Python 3.6+, *Black* adds underscores to long numeric literals to aid
readability: `100000000` becomes `100_000_000`.
+For regions where numerals are grouped differently (like [India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numbering_system)
+and [China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_numerals#Whole_numbers)),
+the `-N` or `--skip-numeric-underscore-normalization` command line option
+makes *Black* preserve underscores in numeric literals.
+
### Line breaks & binary operators
*Black* will break a line before a binary operator when splitting a block
If you're running with `--verbose`, you will see a blue message if
a file was found and used.
+Please note `blackd` will not use `pyproject.toml` configuration.

+should contain the python source code to be formatted, encoded
according to the `charset` field in the `Content-Type` request header. If no
`charset` is specified, `blackd` assumes `UTF-8`.
There are a few HTTP headers that control how the source is formatted. These
correspond to command line flags for *Black*. There is one exception to this:
`X-Protocol-Version` which if present, should have the value `1`, otherwise the

- `X-Skip-String-Normalization`: corresponds to the `--skip-string-normalization`
command line flag. If present and its value is not the empty string, no string
normalization will be performed.
