The following option can be given:

Subscripted

specifies the output form

The default setting FormatType->Subscripted sets the output form to be a subscripted vector.

The setting FullForm sets the output form to FullForm.

The setting FunctionOfCoefficients[g] sets the input form and output form for the element GF[p, ilist][{e₁, e₂, ...}] to be g[e₁, e₂, ...].

The setting FunctionOfCode[g] sets the input form and output form for the element GF[p, ilist][{e₁, e₂, ...}] to be g[i], where i is the element code e₁+e₂p+e₃ p²+....
