+## Can I run Black with PyPy?
 
 Yes, there is support for PyPy 3.7 and higher. You cannot format Python 2 files under
 PyPy, because PyPy's inbuilt ast module does not support this.

+_Black_ is an autoformatter, not a Python linter or interpreter. Detecting all syntax
+errors is not a goal. It can format all code accepted by CPython (if you find an example
+where that doesn't hold, please report a bug!), but it may also format some code that
+CPython doesn't accept.
