   The code <?php wp_list_pages(....); ?> in the navlist.php file create huge code:

   <li id="pagenav">
Pages
<ul>
<li class="page_item"><a href="link">Page 1</a></li>
<li class="page_item"><a href="link">Page 2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
   I dont need the tags
   <li>,
<ul>,
<li>....
   I will create a navigation with static and direkli links, iclude the "wp_list_pages" - all in one!! list (
   <ul>
<li>)<br />
   regards

   Remove that code, and instead hardcode the links instead.

   WordPress strives to be a semantic product, and a list of links is a list, ergo it is built using <ul> and <li> elements. It's up to you whether or not you want to use them.

   In which file I have to delete the list HTML elements?
   (ul and li elements are good, but for a normal navigation the php query wp_list_pages() create to mutch list elements.)

   HTML Generation by PHP is not good.
   Can we fix that problem in a next release?

   I like the xhtml generation - if I am writing a list (and no matter which way you spin it, a list of pages is a LIST) - then I'd rather WP handle that markup. To ask for it to be fixed implies it is broken - it is not.

   I have given you the answer - hardcode the links.

   I think the problem is that quite some functions in WordPress generates a list with html tags without providing the option to substitute other elements instead of ul and li.

   WordPress strives to be a semantic product, so it is more important not to tie with a particular syntax. Providing a default is fine, however making it the only option...

   While re-designing my blog I found several such functions, which even though useful was clearly unsuitable for my purposes. So I was forced to redesign most of the template tags for my needs.

   For example I use two "The Loop". However I realized it is wasteful to run the full loop when I can provide an optimized query to just fetch what I need.

   Same with category template tags, too much ul, li based and some of them makes assumptions about being within "The Loop".

   A small solution :

   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>

   found on: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages#Display_No_Heading_and_Not_in_a_List

   I think the next version of WordPress should have an interface to allow the easy modification of all the WP operators, such as wp_list_pages. Allow people to change the before after and inbetween stuff.
