Half-diamond indention is when successive lines are indented at both ends, each one being shorter than the preceding line, as shown in this paragraph.
The amount of indention necessary to attain this will vary in different forms of composition, and therefore only general rules can be given.
Diagonal indention is when the lines of type are so arranged that they follow after each other diagonally in this style.
If the lines are long and the type small the indention may be two ems.
