-## Tools
-
-### GDAL (3.8.3) 
-
-
-### QGIS (3.34.3)
-With GDAL (3.8.1) 
-
-Can read from local storage, but can't read the CRS.
-
-Can read from S3, but extremely slowly.
-
-Can write, but with incorrect nodata value and doesn't write multiple variables to a file. 
-
-### ArcGIS (3.2.1) 
-
-### NetCDF Python Library (1.6.2)
-Should be able to read from S3, but depends upon configuring the NetCDF C library with [the NCZarr implementation](https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/nug/current/nczarr_head.html) to read from S3. Attempting to read from S3 triggered this message: `s3 scheme requires that netCDF be configured with –enable-nczarr-s3 option `.
-
-### NCO (5.1.9)
-Ticket: https://github.com/zarr-developers/geozarr-spec/issues/40
-
-Should be able to read from S3, but depends upon configuring the NetCDF C library with [the NCZarr implementation](https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/nug/current/nczarr_head.html) to read from S3. Attempting to read from S3 triggered this message: `s3 scheme requires that netCDF be configured with –enable-nczarr-s3 option `.
-
-### Panoply (5.2.9)
-
-### Xarray (2024.1.1)
-Can read and write, but only if using GDAL <3.6 or no GDAL. Does not work with GDAL 3.8.

+Steps for building documentation:
+ 1. Ensure you have Ruby installed, e.g., through [rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv#readme)
+ 2. Ensure you have a recent version of Asciidoctor installed (e.g. `gem install asciidoctor`)
+ 3. Run `asciidoctor --safe -a data-uri -D output cf/cf-conventions.adoc`
