Creates a triangle shape with pure CSS.
```html
<div class="triangle"></div>
```
```css
.triangle {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 20px solid #333;
border-left: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
}
```
#### Explanation
- [View this link for a detailed explanation.](https://stackoverflow.com/q/7073484)
- The color of the border is the color of the triangle. The side the triangle tip points corresponds to the opposite `border-*` property. For example, a color on `border-top` means the arrow points downward.
- Experiment with the `px` values to change the proportion of the triangle.
