Is it possible to create a triangle marker in Webflow without coding, specifically like the orange triangle "Special Offer" in the corner of the picture, and if so, how can I hide the extra parts of the box to show only one triangle part?

Yes, it is possible to create a triangle marker in Webflow without coding. Here's how you can achieve it:

  1. Add a Div Block element to your project where you want to place the triangle marker.
  2. Set the position of the Div Block to relative.
  3. Adjust the width and height of the Div Block to match the dimensions you want for your triangle marker.
  4. Under the Background section in the Styles panel, choose a background color for the Div Block to match the color of your triangle marker.
  5. Go to the Transform section in the Styles panel and click on the Rotate dropdown menu.
  6. Select the desired rotation angle for the triangle marker (e.g., 45 degrees for a diagonal marker).
  7. Next, go to the Position section in the Styles panel and configure the position of the Div Block to place it in the desired corner of the picture. You can use the top, right, bottom, and left properties to adjust the position.
  8. If necessary, add padding or margins to adjust the spacing around the triangle marker.
  9. To hide the extra parts of the box and show only one triangle part, you can apply an overflow property to the Div Block. Choose hidden as the value for the overflow property to hide any content that overflows the boundaries of the Div Block.
  10. You can further customize the triangle marker by adjusting the dimensions, color, rotation, and position properties to fit your specific design requirements.

By following these steps, you will be able to create a triangle marker in Webflow without the need for coding. This method allows for easy customization and can be applied to any element on your website.

Example CSS Code:

<style>    .triangle-marker {        position: relative;        width: 100px;        height: 100px;        background-color: orange;        transform: rotate(45deg);        overflow: hidden;        /* Additional styling properties such as position, padding, and margins can be added here */    }</style>

Example HTML Code:

<div class="triangle-marker">    <!-- Content here (if any) will be hidden by the overflow property --></div>

Creating a triangle marker using Webflow's visual interface and styling options eliminates the need for coding knowledge, making it accessible to users of all levels.
