The first paragraph does not have an indentation. In successive paragraphs the first line is indented.
Full line break
Instead of indenting, use a full line break to separate paragraphs of texts.
Efficient reading depends on a comfortable line length between 40 and 75 characters.
We recommend using hanging punctuation, or exdentation, in which the punctuation or bullet points are set in the margin so as not to disrupt the text alignment.
