CSS Only Ribbon Title

Typical example of a blog-post-like section where the title is shown as a red ribbon exploiting all the power of CSS (and using CSS triangles) A little (unnecessary) jQuery animation adds some fun. With the latest update I tested the possibility of adding multiple ribbons: looks good!

HTML

<section class="container">
    <h3><span class="left ribbon"></span>The train pursued its course<span class="right ribbon"></span></h3>
    <p>Nothing in your eye</p>

<h3><span class="left ribbon"></span>Thirteen hundred and eighty-two miles<span class="right ribbon"></span></h3>
<p>Something just like this</p>
</section>
