Hi everyone!

I was wondering if it was possible to use a div to contain text but have every line indented slightly more than the line above it, so that the first word in every line forms a slant downwards towards the right? I’ve been looking up CSS and javascript and have not found anything yet. I know there are some code to conform text to a shape but I haven’t found a easy way to do what I’m trying to do.

Thanks for any replies.
