New MD presentation at ORNL NDAV seminar. ​https://github.com/mantidproject/documents/commit/a9ff38fce35e9cc5657709c33db24f06cd36edb7

[Andrei Savici]

(In #10829) Normalization is calculated correctly for event workspaces only if the vent workspace is cropped and binned to the same interval. The normalization is using the limits from Rebin to calculate minimum and maximum final energy. However, if the event workspace is not cropped to the same interval, one might have MD events where the normalization is calculated to be 0. Maybe ConvertToMD for events should automatically ignore the events that fall outside the binning range.

Not too much to test. Check if the explanation makes sense, maybe play with the usage example. A note about same limits for cropping and binning should be in the help file.
