<p>You are right, I probably misunderstood. But now I am curious, what is the use case for formatting just a range of lines and not the entire file?</p>

<p>> We still don't have format selection<p>And you never will. From <a href="https://github.com/psf/black" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/psf/black</a>:<p>Black is the uncompromising Python code formatter. By using it, you agree to cede control over minutiae of hand-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.</p>

<p>Off-topic: in the order book updates example, the top of the book is updated using one field per message:<p>echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidPrice": 174.1 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates
echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidVolume": 1000 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates
echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "askPrice": 174.2 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates
echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "askVolume": 2000 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates
echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidPrice": 174.0 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates<p>However some top of the book update can result in an entire level disappearing. In that case, both price and volume changed actually at the same time, yet according to this example it will be broken down into two messages? This will lead to inconsistent state of the book when I read it between two messages. Or did the example just happen to show one field per message, and multiple fields per message are possible too?</p>
