Here is the code that the Display Format area provides for you by default:

```
<a href="%tag_link%" id="tag-link-%tag_id%" class="st-tags t%tag_scale%" title="%tag_count% topics" %tag_rel% style="%tag_size% %tag_color%">%tag_name%</a>
```

Here are the items you can use inside that code:

- `%tag_link%` - The URL of the term
- `%tag_description%` - The term description
- `%tag_id%` - The ID of the term
- `t%tag_scale%` - The weighted size of the term in the display
- `%tag_count%` - The number of times the term is used
- `%tag_rel%` - This provides rel tag markup (it creates rel="tag")
- `%tag_size%` - The font size for the term
- `%tag_color%` - The font color for the term
- `%tag_name%` - The name of the term
- `%tag_name_attribute%` - The name of the term with any HTML stripped out
