Florian made a design document about ToS rendering:

    https://docs.taler.net/design-documents/003-tos-rendering.html

The goal is to have exchanges provide their ToS in markdown format, so
we have a common format that we can render according to Belen's suggestion.

I have implemented this now in the Android Wallet. Here's a video of how
it looks like:

Note that with the expandable sections in mind, the example ToS should
probably use less sections.

The implementation should be able to handle any markdown ToS confirming
to the specs outlined in the design document.

Kind Regards,
