   2 <p>Formatters are used to turn the raw data for a single field value into html.
   3 The <strong>Display Fields</strong> tab lets you chose which formatter you want to use
   4 for each of your fields.</p>

   6 <p>In CCK 2.0 for Drupal 6, all formatters now go through the theme layer.
   7 Therefore, overriding a formatter's theme is another way you can alter how your
   8 values are displayed (whereas changing <span class="code">content-field.tpl.php</span>
   9 lets you change the html that "wraps" the values).</p>

  11 <p>Most formatters come as theme functions, but some might use templates instead.
  12 Either way, you can override them using the usual Drupal 6 theme override
  13 practices. For more informations, see the <a href="http://drupal.org/theme-guide">Theme guide for Drupal 6</a>,
  14 and more specifically the <a href="http://drupal.org/node/173880">Overriding themable output</a> section.</p>
