Text alignment is a blanket format applied to a specific selection of text in relation to which margin the text is flush with (center, right, left, justified)

Indentation is applied to a selection of text after alignment. It is the space between the left margin and the first letter of each line. It may be applied to the first line in a paragraph (standard indent) or to a works cited page to separate entries where the first line is not indented and the rest are (hanging indent).
