-*Black* is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool:
-* it does nothing if no sources are passed to it;
-* it will read from standard input and write to standard output if `-`
-  is used as the filename;
-* it only outputs messages to users on standard error;
-* exits with code 0 unless an internal error occurred (or `--check` was
-  used).
-
-
-### NOTE: This is an early pre-release
-
-*Black* can already successfully format itself and the standard library.
-It also sports a decent test suite.  However, it is still very new.
-Things will probably be wonky for a while. This is made explicit by the
-"Alpha" trove classifier, as well as by the "a" in the version number.
-What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable,
-you should expect some formatting to change in the future**.
-
-Also, as a temporary safety measure, *Black* will check that the
-reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is equivalent to the
-original.  This slows it down.  If you're feeling confident, use
-``--fast``.

-
-## The *Black* code style
-
-*Black* reformats entire files in place.  It is not configurable.  It
-doesn't take previous formatting into account.  It doesn't reformat
-blocks that start with `# fmt: off` and end with `# fmt: on`.  It also
-recognizes [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf)'s block comments to
-the same effect, as a courtesy for straddling code.
-
-
-### How *Black* wraps lines
-
-*Black* ignores previous formatting and applies uniform horizontal
-and vertical whitespace to your code.  The rules for horizontal
-whitespace can be summarized as: do whatever makes `pycodestyle` happy.
-The coding style used by *Black* can be viewed as a strict subset of
-PEP 8.
-
-As for vertical whitespace, *Black* tries to render one full expression
-or simple statement per line.  If this fits the allotted line length,
-great.

 ### Line length
 
 
 ### Line length
 

-You probably noticed the peculiar default line length.  *Black* defaults
-to 88 characters per line, which happens to be 10% over 80.  This number
-was found to produce significantly shorter files than sticking with 80
-(the most popular), or even 79 (used by the standard library).  In
-general, [90-ish seems like the wise choice](https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=260).
-
-If you're paid by the line of code you write, you can pass
-`--line-length` with a lower number.  *Black* will try to respect that.
-However, sometimes it won't be able to without breaking other rules.  In
-those rare cases, auto-formatted code will exceed your allotted limit.
-
-You can also increase it, but remember that people with sight disabilities
-find it harder to work with line lengths exceeding 100 characters.
-It also adversely affects side-by-side diff review  on typical screen
-resolutions.  Long lines also make it harder to present code neatly
-in documentation or talk slides.
-
-If you're using Flake8, you can bump `max-line-length` to 88 and forget
-about it.  Alternatively, use [Bugbear](https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-bugbear)'s
-B950 warning instead of E501 and keep the max line length at 80 which
-you are probably already using.  You'd do it like this:

-### Trailing commas
-
-*Black* will add trailing commas to expressions that are split
-by comma where each element is on its own line.  This includes function
-signatures.
-
-Unnecessary trailing commas are removed if an expression fits in one
-line.  This makes it 1% more likely that your line won't exceed the
-allotted line length limit.  Moreover, in this scenario, if you added
-another argument to your call, you'd probably fit it in the same line
-anyway.  That doesn't make diffs any larger.
-
-One exception to removing trailing commas is tuple expressions with
-just one element.  In this case *Black* won't touch the single trailing
-comma as this would unexpectedly change the underlying data type.  Note
-that this is also the case when commas are used while indexing.  This is
-a tuple in disguise: ```numpy_array[3, ]```.
-
-One exception to adding trailing commas is function signatures
-containing `*`, `*args`, or `**kwargs`.  In this case a trailing comma
-is only safe to use on Python 3.6.  *Black* will detect if your file is
-already 3.6+ only and use trailing commas in this situation.  If you
-wonder how it knows, it looks for f-strings and existing use of trailing
-commas in function signatures that have stars in them.  In other words,
-if you'd like a trailing comma in this situation and *Black* didn't
-recognize it was safe to do so, put it there manually and *Black* will
-keep it.

+lines on module level left by the original editors, except when they're within
+parenthesized expressions. Since such expressions are always reformatted to fit minimal
+space, this whitespace is lost.

+and classes. _Black_ will not put empty lines between function/class definitions and
+standalone comments that immediately precede the given function/class.

 
 

-### Strings
+_Black_ will enforce single empty lines between a class-level docstring and the first
+following field or method. This conforms to
+[PEP 257](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/#multi-line-docstrings).

 
 

-*Black* prefers double quotes (`"` and `"""`) over single quotes (`'`
-and `'''`).  It will replace the latter with the former as long as it
-does not result in more backslash escapes than before.
+_Black_ won't insert empty lines after function docstrings unless that empty line is
+required due to an inner function starting immediately after.

 
 

-*Black* also standardizes string prefixes, making them always lowercase.
-On top of that, if your code is already Python 3.6+ only or it's using
-the `unicode_literals` future import, *Black* will remove `u` from the
-string prefix as it is meaningless in those scenarios.
+### Trailing commas

 
 

-The main reason to standardize on a single form of quotes is aesthetics.
-Having one kind of quotes everywhere reduces reader distraction.
-It will also enable a future version of *Black* to merge consecutive
-string literals that ended up on the same line (see
-[#26](https://github.com/ambv/black/issues/26) for details).
+_Black_ will add trailing commas to expressions that are split by comma where each
+element is on its own line. This includes function signatures.

 
 

-Why settle on double quotes?  They anticipate apostrophes in English
-text.  They match the docstring standard described in PEP 257.  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.
+Unnecessary trailing commas are removed if an expression fits in one line. This makes it
+1% more likely that your line won't exceed the allotted line length limit. Moreover, in
+this scenario, if you added another argument to your call, you'd probably fit it in the
+same line anyway. That doesn't make diffs any larger.

 
 

-On certain keyboard layouts like US English, typing single quotes is
-a bit easier than double quotes.  The latter requires use of the Shift
-key.  My recommendation here is to keep using whatever is faster to type
-and let *Black* handle the transformation.

+
+### Numeric literals
+
+_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

 ### Typing stub files
 
 ### Typing stub files
 

-PEP 484 describes the syntax for type hints in Python.  One of the
-use cases for typing is providing type annotations for modules which
-cannot contain them directly (they might be written in C, or they might
-be third-party, or their implementation may be overly dynamic, and so on).
-
-To solve this, [stub files with the `.pyi` file
-extension](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#stub-files) can be
-used to describe typing information for an external module.  Those stub
-files omit the implementation of classes and functions they
-describe, instead they only contain the structure of the file (listing
-globals, functions, and classes with their members).  The recommended
-code style for those files is more terse than PEP 8:
-
-* prefer `...` on the same line as the class/function signature;
-* avoid vertical whitespace between consecutive module-level functions,
-  names, or methods and fields within a single class;
-* use a single blank line between top-level class definitions, or none
-  if the classes are very small.
-
-*Black* enforces the above rules.  There are additional guidelines for
-formatting `.pyi` file that are not enforced yet but might be in
-a future version of the formatter:
-
-* all function bodies should be empty (contain `...` instead of the body);
-* do not use docstrings;
-* prefer `...` over `pass`;
-* for arguments with a default, use `...` instead of the actual default;
-* avoid using string literals in type annotations, stub files support
-  forward references natively (like Python 3.7 code with `from __future__
-  import annotations`);
-* use variable annotations instead of type comments, even for stubs that
-  target older versions of Python;
-* for arguments that default to `None`, use `Optional[]` explicitly;
-* use `float` instead of `Union[int, float]`.

+
+## pyproject.toml
+
+_Black_ is able to read project-specific default values for its command line options
+from a `pyproject.toml` file. This is especially useful for specifying custom
+`--include` and `--exclude` patterns for your project.
+
+**Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?" the answer is
+"No". _Black_ is all about sensible defaults.
+
+### What on Earth is a `pyproject.toml` file?
+
+[PEP 518](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/) defines `pyproject.toml` as a
+configuration file to store build system requirements for Python projects. With the help
+of tools like [Poetry](https://poetry.eustace.io/) or
+[Flit](https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) it can fully replace the need for
+`setup.py` and `setup.cfg` files.
+
+### Where _Black_ looks for the file
+
+By default _Black_ looks for `pyproject.toml` starting from the common base directory of
+all files and directories passed on the command line. If it's not there, it looks in
+parent directories. It stops looking when it finds the file, or a `.git` directory, or a
+`.hg` directory, or the root of the file system, whichever comes first.
+
+If you're formatting standard input, _Black_ will look for configuration starting from
+the current working directory.
+
+You can also explicitly specify the path to a particular file that you want with
+`--config`. In this situation _Black_ will not look for any other file.
+
+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.
+
+### Configuration format
+
+As the file extension suggests, `pyproject.toml` is a
+[TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file. It contains separate sections for
+different tools. _Black_ is using the `[tool.black]` section. The option keys are the
+same as long names of options on the command line.
+
+Note that you have to use single-quoted strings in TOML for regular expressions. It's
+the equivalent of r-strings in Python. Multiline strings are treated as verbose regular
+expressions by Black. Use `[ ]` to denote a significant space character.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Example `pyproject.toml`</summary>
+
+```toml
+[tool.black]
+line-length = 88
+target-version = ['py37']
+include = '\.pyi?$'
+exclude = '''
+
+(
+  /(
+      \.eggs         # exclude a few common directories in the
+    | \.git          # root of the project
+    | \.hg
+    | \.mypy_cache
+    | \.tox
+    | \.venv
+    | _build
+    | buck-out
+    | build
+    | dist
+  )/
+  | foo.py           # also separately exclude a file named foo.py in
+                     # the root of the project
+)
+'''
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Lookup hierarchy

 
 

+Command-line options have defaults that you can see in `--help`. A `pyproject.toml` can
+override those defaults. Finally, options provided by the user on the command line
+override both.
+
+_Black_ will only ever use one `pyproject.toml` file during an entire run. It doesn't
+look for multiple files, and doesn't compose configuration from different levels of the
+file hierarchy.

+
+## blackd
+
+`blackd` is a small HTTP server that exposes _Black_'s functionality over a simple
+protocol. The main benefit of using it is to avoid paying the cost of starting up a new
+_Black_ process every time you want to blacken a file.
+
+### Usage
+
+`blackd` is not packaged alongside _Black_ by default because it has additional
+dependencies. You will need to do `pip install black[d]` to install it.
+
+You can start the server on the default port, binding only to the local interface by
+running `blackd`. You will see a single line mentioning the server's version, and the
+host and port it's listening on. `blackd` will then print an access log similar to most
+web servers on standard output, merged with any exception traces caused by invalid
+formatting requests.

 
 

-This can be used for example with PyCharm's [File Watchers](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/file-watchers.html).
+`blackd` provides even less options than _Black_. You can see them by running
+`blackd --help`:

 
 

+```text
+Usage: blackd [OPTIONS]
+
+Options:
+  --bind-host TEXT                Address to bind the server to.
+  --bind-port INTEGER             Port to listen on
+  --version                       Show the version and exit.
+  -h, --help                      Show this message and exit.
+```
+
+There is no official blackd client tool (yet!). You can test that blackd is working
+using `curl`:
+
+```
+blackd --bind-port 9090 &  # or let blackd choose a port
+curl -s -XPOST "localhost:9090" -d "print('valid')"
+```
+
+### Protocol
+
+`blackd` only accepts `POST` requests at the `/` path. The body of the request 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 request is rejected with
+`HTTP 501` (Not Implemented).
+
+The headers controlling how code is formatted are:
+
+If any of these headers are set to invalid values, `blackd` returns a `HTTP 400` error
+response, mentioning the name of the problematic header in the message body.
+
+- `X-Line-Length`: corresponds to the `--line-length` command line flag.
+- `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.
+- `X-Fast-Or-Safe`: if set to `fast`, `blackd` will act as _Black_ does when passed the
+  `--fast` command line flag.
+- `X-Python-Variant`: if set to `pyi`, `blackd` will act as _Black_ does when passed the
+  `--pyi` command line flag. Otherwise, its value must correspond to a Python version or
+  a set of comma-separated Python versions, optionally prefixed with `py`. For example,
+  to request code that is compatible with Python 3.5 and 3.6, set the header to
+  `py3.5,py3.6`.
+- `X-Diff`: corresponds to the `--diff` command line flag. If present, a diff of the
+  formats will be output.
+
+If any of these headers are set to invalid values, `blackd` returns a `HTTP 400` error
+response, mentioning the name of the problematic header in the message body.
+
+Apart from the above, `blackd` can produce the following response codes:
+
+- `HTTP 204`: If the input is already well-formatted. The response body is empty.
+- `HTTP 200`: If formatting was needed on the input. The response body contains the
+  blackened Python code, and the `Content-Type` header is set accordingly.
+- `HTTP 400`: If the input contains a syntax error. Details of the error are returned in
+  the response body.
+- `HTTP 500`: If there was any kind of error while trying to format the input. The
+  response body contains a textual representation of the error.
+
+The response headers include a `X-Black-Version` header containing the version of
+_Black_.
