+formatting and simplify diffs is recommended.
 
 The default noxfile has `blacken` session for convenience. Here are
 some examples.
 
 If you have pyenv configured:
+
 ```sh
 nox -s blacken
 ```
 
 If you only have docker:
-```

 cd proj_directory
 ../scripts/run_tests_local.sh . blacken
 ```
 
+Owlbot is an automated tool that will run the `blacken` session automatically on new pull requests.

 In addition to the syntax guidelines covered in PEP 8, samples should strive
 to follow the Pythonic philosophy outlined in the
 [PEP 20 - Zen of Python](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/) as well
