Tabs
Tabs are a simple way to split your content in a simple tabbed view.
To create a tab, you have to add the .tab class to a div, and start creating your
different tabs using an unordered list syntax.
Your ul have to be a .tab-menu which contains all
the li with the .tab-link links.
These links refer to the IDs of your tab contents.
Active tab / Full width
You can add the .active class to your tab link to make it the opened tab when the
page is loaded.
The .full-width class on the tab make all the
.tab-link take the full width of the tab.
Here, the second tab-link is active, and all the tabs take the full width.
Arrow option
The arrow option allows you to remove the tab scrollbar and replace it with two arrows.
To use it, simply wrap your .tab-menu inside a
.tab-arrow div.
Then, you have to add the .tab-prev and
.tab-next arrows inside your .tab-arrow.
