   I'm running WP2.1 (www.dmk.com.au) -- and cannot remove the opening and closing <li> and </li> coding from the category listing in my sidebar.

   I'm using the new wp_list_categories info info for 2.1.

   There is some wrong info on this page about the "title_li" parameter -- it says it is boolean, but then gives no true/false options. However, I found using title_li=0 worked as an argument. But -- when I removed this parameter from my code, the <li> tags stayed (despite the page saying that they would be removed from display).

   I see though in the Codex there is mention of a "sytle" parameter for wp_list_categories, but there no information provided yet in the docs on how to use that (maybe it will be covering the use of unordered lists?).

   I've had no problems with stripping <li> tags from my pages listing, using this thread. That approach also worked for bookmarks using the new wp_list_bookmarks.

   But alas, not for categories. I cannot use that same approach here. I don't want <li> tags for each category entry, just a <br /> will do fine.

   I can live with the current situation for now, but it in the long run I'd like to see this work properly!

   Any thoughts/solutions/workarounds, without hacking the core? I cannot find anything in Support Forums or docs about this, or even via Google.

   Have you tried wp_list_categories('style=none');?

   Thanks Otto42, this worked! The Codex page for this template tag had no info for the style parameter, so I hadn't yet been able to use that until your suggestion.

   This way changes the <li> and </li> into a <br /> -- which is exactly what I needed!

   Thanks again!

   Instead of letting WP output my categorie list directly to my blog I chosed to put it in an array so you can change it anyway you want with php. The result is a plugin with help file located that can be found here.
