What is an indention?

In: Definitions and Word Differences, Literary Terms [Recategorize]

[Edit]

It usually means that the line is indented... meaning, simply, that it is moved to the right.

This line is indented, for instance.

You indent block quotations usually, and the first lines of paragraphs in papers. Word processing programs allow indentions using the Tab key, and block indentions usually with the ruler bar or something similar, so that the margin is actually moved and you don't have to indent each line separately.
