# Adding count to category list

 * I have the following code that lists my categories:
 *     ```
       <ul>
       					<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=<h3 class="widget-title">' . __('Topics', 'yoko') . '</h3>'); ?>
       				</ul>
       ```
   
 * But I want to add in the option to get the number of posts within each category:
 * `show_count=1`
 * How can I add it to the current function? Everything I have tried either shows
   the number of posts and not the custom h3 tag, or vise versa. Can anyone help?
