Frames and Triangles, Part 1

In this series of exercises, we will examine an interesting trick related to the good old border property. You can use regular frames to create extraordinary effects!

Frames have one peculiar feature: if the frame of an element is wide, and the element itself has zero width and height, then the borders of the frame will be triangular.

Let’s try it out in practice!
