What is a hanging indent and how do I make one?

The first line of each entry sits flush left and every subsequent line is indented half an inch. Create it with your word processor's paragraph settings, under special indentation, rather than by pressing tab or enter, which breaks as soon as the text reflows.

This comes up on APA 7 Reference List Format, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
