Creates widgets for any public taxonomy. Display terms as an ordered list, unordered list, term cloud or dropdown menu.

==Description==
The Taxonomy Widget Plugin enables users to create widgets in their sidebar that display all terms of any given taxonomy. Users can choose between 3 different templates including two types of lists, a term cloud or a dropdown menu.


= Options =
__Title__ - You can enter a custom title for your widget in this text input. If you leave this field blank, The name of the taxonomy will be used. If you do not want a title displayed at all, you can toggle this by un-checking the *Display title* box under *Advanced Options*.

__Taxonomy__ - You can select the taxonomy whose terms you would like displayed by selecting it from the dropdown menu.

__Template__ - Select a template for your terms by selecting one of the radio buttons in the *Display Taxonomy As* section.

__Display title__ - If checked the title will be displayed. Un-checking this option will hide the title. Defaults to checked.

__Show post counts__ - If checked, the number of posts associated with each term will be displayed to the right of the term name in the template. This option has no effect in the *cloud* template.

__Show hierarchy__ - If checked, the terms will be indented from the left if they are children of other terms. This option has no effect in the *cloud* template.
