[The section about line length][1] was contradictory.
On one side, it said:
> Black will try to respect that [line length limit]. However, sometimes it won't be able to without breaking other rules. In those rare cases, auto-formatted code will exceed your allotted limit.
So black doesn't guarantee that your code is formatted at 88 chars, even when configured with `--line-length=88` (default). Black uses this limit as a "hint" more than a "rule".
OTOH, it also said:
> If you're using Flake8, you can bump max-line-length to 88 and forget about it. Alternatively, use Bugbear's B950 warning instead of E501 and keep the max line length at 80 which you are probably already using.
But that's not true. You can't "forget about it" because Black sometimes won't respect the limit. Both E501 at 88 and B950 at 80 behave the same: linter error at 89+ length. So, if Black happens to decide that a line of code is better at 90 characters that some other fancy style, you land on a unlucky situation where both tools will fight.
So, AFAICS, the best way to align flake8 and black is to:
1. Use flake8-bugbear
2. Enable B950
3. Disable E501
4. Set `max-line-length = 88`
This way, we also tell flake8 that 88 limit is a "hint" and not a "rule". The real rule will be 88 + 10%. If black decides that a line fits better in 97 characters than in 88 + some formatting, _that_ probably means your code has a real problem.
To avoid further confusion, I change the official recommendation here.

Isort 5 introduced profiles and ensure_newline_before_comments options. Either needs to be added to work correctly with black.

* Split code style and components documentation
Splits 'the_black_code_style', 'pragmatism', 'blackd',and 'black_primer'
into their own files. The exception being 'the_black_code_style' and
'pragmatism'. They have been merged into one 'the_black_code_style_and_pragmatism'
file.
These changes are being made because the README is becoming very long. And
a README isn't great if it dissuades its reader because of its length.
* Update the doc generation logic and configuration
With the moving of several sections in the README and the renaming of a
few files, 'conf.py' needs to be able to support custom sections.
This commit introduces DocSection which can be used to specify custom
sections of documentation. The information stored in DocSection will be
used by the process_sections function to read, process, and write the section
to CURRENT_DIR.
A large change has been made to the how the docs are prepared to be built.
Instead of just generating the files needed by reading the README, this
has a full chain of operations so custom sections are supported. First,
it reads the README and spits out a list of DocSection objects representing
the sections to be generated by process_sections. This is done since most
of the docs still live in README. Then along with the defined custom_sections
, the process_sections will be begin to process the DocSection objects.
It reads the information it needs to generate the section. Then fetches
the section's contents, calls processors required by the section to process
the section's contents, and finally writes the section to CURRENT_DIR.
This large change is so processing of the documentation can be done just
for the versions hosted on ReadTheDocs.org. An example processor using this
feature is a 'replace_links' processor. It will replace documentation
links that point to the docs hosted on GitHub with links that point to the
version hosted on ReadTheDocs.org. (I won't be coding that ATM)
This also means that files will be overwritten or created once the docs
have been built. It is annoying, since you have to 'git reset --hard'
and 'git clean -f -d' after each build, but there's nothing better. The old
system had the same side effects, so yeah :(
* Update filenames and delete unnecessary files
Update the filenames since 'the_black_code_style' and 'pragmatism' were
merged and 'contributing' was deleted in favor of 'contributing_to_black'.
All symlinks were deleted since their home (_build/generated) is no longer
used.
* Fix broken links and a few redirections
* Merge master into refactor_docs (manually done)
* Add my and most of @hugovk suggestions

* Add logging and improve configurability
Just some cleaning up up of the DocSection dataclass and added logging
support so you know what's going on.
* Rename a section and please the grammar gods of Black
Thanks @hugovk for the suggestion!
* Fix Markdown comments
* Add myself as an author :P
Seems like the right time.

Most is not generated from README.md so we no longer have to remember to update
two Change Logs, and so on!
If we decide to diverge from the README in Sphinx, that's fine, too. We will
just create dedicated documents.
