# Post count for categories

 * When I set my sidebar to display the categories in a structured list by calling`
   wp_list_cats()` in sidebar.php I don’t get the number of posts shown. If I don’t
   structure the list and call `list_cats(0, '', 'name', 'asc', '', 1, 0, 1, 1, 
   1, 1, 0,'','','','','')` then I do get the post count shown in brackets.
 * Is there a way to have a structured list and also the post count?
