### NOTE: This is a beta product
-*Black* is already [successfully used](#used-by) by many projects, small and big.
-It also sports a decent test suite. However, it is still very new.

-What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable,
-you should expect some formatting to change in the future**. That being
-said, no drastic stylistic changes are planned, mostly responses to bug
-reports.

-You might have noticed that closing brackets are always dedented and

-diffs; when you add or remove an element, it's always just one line.
-Also, having the closing bracket dedented provides a clear delimiter
-between two distinct sections of the code that otherwise share the same
-indentation level (like the arguments list and the docstring in the
-example above).

-If a data structure literal (tuple, list, set, dict) or a line of "from"

### 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.

### Strings
-*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.

-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.

-On certain keyboard layouts like US English, typing single quotes is

### Call chains
-Some popular APIs, like ORMs, use call chaining. This API style is known
-as a [fluent interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface).
-*Black* formats those by treating dots that follow a call or an indexing
-operation like a very low priority delimiter. It's easier to show the
-behavior than to explain it. Look at the example:

### 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

-* for arguments that default to `None`, use `Optional[]` explicitly;

-
+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]`.

### 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.

### 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.

-strings are treated as verbose regular expressions by Black. Use `[ ]`
-to denote a significant space character.
