 * I’m using a plugin to excute php-codes in my posts, but is it possible to use
   the get_the_category function to show all categories available, not just the 
   one of this post.
    I’m trying to use it, to show a list of the categories with
   descriptions on a page, without links etc. Thanks!

 * this one works
    `<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=<h3>Categories</h3>'); ?>`
   categories would be the title of the list hope it helps 😀

 * It gets my in the right direction, but still itsn’t what I’m looking for. I’m
   going to try to use the categories-view in de wp-admin panel.
    Thanks anyway!
