+    Specify a list of codes to add to the list of selected ones. Similar
+    considerations as in :option:`--select` apply here with regard to the
+    value.
+
+    The difference to the :option:`--select` option is, that this option can be
+    used to selectively add individual codes without overriding the default
+    list entirely.
+
+    Command-line example:
+
+    .. prompt:: bash
+
+        flake8 --extend-select=E4,E51,W234 dir/
+
+    This **can** be specified in config files.

+    Example config file usage:
+
+    .. code-block:: ini
