How to apply a hanging indent in a Canvas page (or assignment or discussion or other assessment) for references:
If you are requiring an MLA works cited page, such as this sample from Purdue University Online Writing Lab (you may also copy and paste this link to your web browser: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_sample_works_cited_page.html) and if you are demonstrating the process to your students in a Canvas Content Page or Assignment how their MLA Works Cited page should appear:
Mouse, Mickey. “Life in the Funny Papers.” Disneyland Review, vol. 96,
no. 3, 1958, pp. 147-160.
Duck, Donald C. “My Life After Warner Bros. Studios.” Waterfowl Unlimited,
3 July 2010, www.waterfowl.com/blog/2015/07/-3/my-life-after-warner-bros-studios.

You can paste the following HTML in your page (How do I use the HTML view in the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?), for each hanging indent paragraph, and change the "Back ipsum dolor..." text to the content you want to format as a hanging indent:
<p style="margin-left: 20px; text-indent: -20px;">Bacon ipsum dolor...</p>
