if the explanation is missing, or if you know, you are diagramming for
conservative folders, it is necessary indeed, to use the common style.
Except that for the "repeat behind" symbol there is not an agreed
"common style". Some, like Harbin, use an arrow with a cross-stroke
repeated the number of times to repeat the fold. Some people prefer this
(Anna wrote that in the current thread), other people dislike it
(including myself, and as far as I remember, Lang's seminal paper on
diagramming symbols): the arrow head indicates movement, many
repetitions makes it cluttered and difficult to count, and there is no
natural way to indicate which steps to repeat. For these reasons several
diagrammers have suggested, and use, a call-out instead, which solves
all of this and also seems pretty intuitive.
I agree with Evi that the art nature of diagramming allows you (or
rather: makes it necessary for you) to use whatever symbols work best
for the art work and readers/folders/users of your diagram.
