+abstract: >-
+  Black is the uncompromising Python code formatter. By using it, you agree to cede
+  control over minutiae ofhand-formatting. In return, Black gives you speed,
+  determinism, and freedom from pycodestyle nagging about formatting. You will save time
+  and mental energy for more important matters.
+
+  Blackened code looks the same regardless of the project you're reading. Formatting
+  becomes transparent after a while and you can focus on the content instead.
+
+  Black makes code review faster by producing the smallest diffs possible.
