-
-## Does Black have an API?
-
-Not yet. _Black_ is fundamentally a command line tool. Many
-[integrations](integrations/index.rst) are provided, but a Python interface is not one
-of them. A simple API is being [planned](https://github.com/psf/black/issues/779)
-though.
-
-## Is Black safe to use?
-
-Yes, for the most part. _Black_ is strictly about formatting, nothing else. But because
-_Black_ is still in [beta](index.rst), some edges are still a bit rough. To combat
-issues, the equivalence of code after formatting is
-[checked](the_black_code_style/current_style.md#ast-before-and-after-formatting) with
-limited special cases where the code is allowed to differ. If issues are found, an error
-is raised and the file is left untouched. Magical comments that influence linters and
-other tools, such as `# noqa`, may be moved by _Black_. See below for more details.
-
-## How stable is Black's style?
-
-Quite stable. _Black_ aims to enforce one style and one style only, with some room for
-pragmatism. However, _Black_ is still in beta so style changes are both planned and
-still proposed on the issue tracker. See
-[The Black Code Style](the_black_code_style/index.rst) for more details.
-
-## 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`)
-- 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.
-
-## Why are Flake8's E203 and W503 violated?
-
-Because they go against PEP 8. E203 falsely triggers on list
-[slices](the_black_code_style/current_style.md#slices), and adhering to W503 hinders
-readability because operators are misaligned. Disable W503 and enable the
-disabled-by-default counterpart W504. E203 should be disabled while changes are still
-[discussed](https://github.com/PyCQA/pycodestyle/issues/373).
-
-## Does Black support Python 2?
-
-For formatting, yes! [Install](getting_started.md#installation) with the `python2` extra
-to format Python 2 files too! There are no current plans to drop support, but most
-likely it is bound to happen. Sometime. Eventually. In terms of running _Black_ though,
-Python 3.6 or newer is required.
-
-## Why does my linter or typechecker complain after I format my code?
-
-Some linters and other tools use magical comments (e.g., `# noqa`, `# type: ignore`) to
-influence their behavior. While Black does its best to recognize such comments and leave
-them in the right place, this detection is not and cannot be perfect. Therefore, you'll
-sometimes have to manually move these comments to the right place after you format your
-codebase with _Black_.
