I don't know that I have heard a consistent name for those little triangles, across the tech writing world. But I think that "expand/collapse arrows" would be clear to me. Ship it!

Please see image here:

When you click the little triangle, it expands or contracts the group.
There is one expanded one and below it are four that have not been expanded.

So, do these little triangles have a name?

Thanks,

Bob
