This module creates a field type that functions like a boolean field. The widget is a check box for on and off. What makes this field different is that the display is able to be changed through a UI. The default render for the field is a simple html <h1>Hello World!</h1>, but this is able to be edited by users with the permission "edit inline formmater field formats". On the manage display page of an entity, the settings for the field has a text field for what is rendered. Users with the correct permission will have be able to enter any html or twig inside the field. The module allows the use of tokens with the token module.
The settings form for the field that holds the information for what to render uses an editor interface. The ace editor is what is used, and preferences for the editor can be made in the inline formatter field settings form. Settings for whether to use CDNs or downloaded libraries, what theme to use for the editor, what mode the editor should use, whether to wrap lines, and whether to print a margin.
The basic idea of the module is that it can display some rendered code if the authors decide to (they check the box in the node form). There is not a limit to what can be rendered, giving this module a broad use.
One use case could be to set the default value of the field to checked, hide the checkbox in the form display, and the set full output of the node inside the field format. Basically it has the capability of moving the twig template to a UI per entity type.

klausiThanks for your contribution!
Review:
* "$this->t('Render the format for') . ' ' . $field_name;": do not concatenate variables to translatable strings, use placeholders with t() instead.
Otherwise looks good to me, I don't see any security issues.
