Re: OpenChain Reference Training Slides now in MarkDown (Draft, needs work)

Hi Carlo,

First of all excellent work, this is no small task and is a huge benefit to the community. Second you mentioned conversion of the powerpoint graphs to SVG and then displaying in markdown. Have you had a chance to read this github blog post tackling similar issues? I took a pass at what this might look like in pull request 41 specifically for slide 54 from your last screen shot. Luckily the Mermaid dev team was nice enough to include a live editor, here's a link to the source code for this diagram in action. The chart type I picked was a sequence diagram, it could be that flow diagram or even a mind map works better. Hopefully this helps, or at least provides another option.
