============================================================================ */

//Creates one triangle or two triangles (arrows) pointed to the opposite sides.
//Apply to a parent selector (for example, article, not .tags itself).
//Takes width, height, direction (top/left...)/orientation (horizontal, vertical), color, and from none up to two selectors arguments. Do not forget to put selector args in quotes if they contain dots, combinators etc.
//Can be used to add triangles as pseudoelements to existing elements. Only works with two horizontal triangles for now.
//Cannot be used for creating triangles pointed at an angle (bottom-left etc...).
//To create one triangle using pseudoelement (:before): @include triangles(10px, 20px, top, red). The element currently in scope will be used.
//To create one triangle using real element: @include triangles(10px, 20px, top|bottom|left|right, red, li)
//To create two triangles using pseudoelements: @include triangles(10px, 20px, horizontal|vertical, red, li)
//To create two triangles using real elements: @include triangles(10px, 20px, horizontal|vertical, red, ".prev", ".next")
