 In particular, brainglobe-template-builder uses an optimised version of the [antsMultivariateTemplateConstruction2.sh](https://github.com/ANTsX/ANTs/blob/master/Scripts/antsMultivariateTemplateConstruction2.sh) script. This optimised implementation was developed by the [CoBra lab](https://www.cobralab.ca/) and is available through the [optimized_antsMultivariateTemplateConstruction GitHub repository](https://github.com/CoBrALab/optimized_antsMultivariateTemplateConstruction/tree/master).

-By default the documentation includes the following sections:
-
-* Getting started. Here you could describe the basic functionalities of your package. To modify this page, edit the file ``docs/source/getting_started.md``.
-* API: here you can find the auto-generated documentation of your package, which is based on the docstrings in your code. To modify which modules/classes/functions are included in the API documentation, edit the file ``docs/source/api_index.rst``.
-
-You can create additional sections with narrative documentation,
-by adding new ``.md`` or ``.rst`` files to the ``docs/source`` folder.
-These files shoult start with a level-1 (H1) header,
-which will be used as the section title. Sub-sections can be created
-with lower-level headers (H2, H3, etc.) within the same file.
-
-To include a section in the rendered documentation,
-add it to the ``toctree`` directive in this (``docs/source/index.rst``) file.
-
-For example, you could create a ``docs/source/installation.md`` file
-and add it to the ``toctree`` like this:
-
-.. code-block:: rst

-   .. toctree::
