Please consider adding functionality to show chosen term field (if present) instead of just name of the term.
For example if you add image field to term and you could show image instead just term name on nodes.

danlinn commentedThanks for the feedback.
I starting looking into this, but since they are fields themselves, you can choose a different formatter for those, too. Maybe you can give me a little more info on why you'd need to use this module to format fields that aren't taxonomy. Are you just looking for the wrapper options on an image field?
I don't want to discourage you, but I probably won't work on this unless we find a good reason.

vito_swat commentedThe main reason for me is to show the terms on nodes as images not as a text. (something like taxomomy image for older drupal ).
I would not worry about the formatters as you can use default from the default build mode or use entity_info_alter to add additional build mode for taxonomy reference field.
I can imagine also other use cases. I.e. you have the field which contains other grammar form of the term (like plural - this case can become more complicated in other languages than english where more grammar forms are present) and would like to show it instead of the term itself.

Comment #4
danlinn commentedYou can control all of this through the taxonomy settings. I added an image field to the taxonomy, marked the description as hidden, and was still able to have the image show instead. I'm pretty sure that satisfies both use cases provided. It could be possible to also provide this in the module, but doing so could be confusing for administrators. It's also not really worth the bang for buck at this point when it's doable elsewhere.

Brian MacKinney commentedCan you explain how this works as designed? I have a vocabulary (wood) with two image fields (grain and tree). At the term display I can see everything just fine, but when I reference the tern in another node or entity, the display formatter options are Link, Text, and (now) Delimited. To me something like the way Commerce passes all of the Product entity data through to a Product Display node's display while only having a single product reference field is what we're looking for. That would seem to be the taxonomy formatter, or a hack to the taxonomy module.
EDIT: Found the http://drupal.org/project/entityreference module. It will do what you need.
