• FormatType is an option for cells that determines the format used for displaying expressions in a cell.
• The default format for newly created cells of a given style is determined by the option DefaultFormatType, which is typically specified in the style sheet. FormatType, on the other hand, can be used to explicitly change the format for an existing cell. • Possible settings are: StandardForm, TraditionalForm, InputForm, and OutputForm. • See also: DefaultFormatType, StandardForm, TraditionalForm, OutputForm.
