 This will prompt Ruff to discover Jupyter Notebook (`.ipynb`) files in any specified
 directories, then lint and format them accordingly.
 
+If you'd prefer to either only lint or only format Jupyter Notebook files, you can use the
+section specific `exclude` option to do so. For example, the following would only lint Jupyter
+Notebook files and not format them:
+
+```toml
+[tool.ruff]
+extend-include = ["*.ipynb"]
+
+[tool.ruff.format]
+exclude = ["*.ipynb"]
+```
+
+And, conversely, the following would only format Jupyter Notebook files and not lint them:
+
+```toml
+[tool.ruff]
+extend-include = ["*.ipynb"]
+
+[tool.ruff.lint]
+exclude = ["*.ipynb"]
+```
+
 Alternatively, pass the notebook file(s) to `ruff` on the command-line directly. For example,
 `ruff check /path/to/notebook.ipynb` will always lint `notebook.ipynb`. Similarly,
 `ruff format /path/to/notebook.ipynb` will always format `notebook.ipynb`.
