Thanks, solved loading an external script file with
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”MyScriptFile”></script>
and then calling a function with another
</script type=”text/javascript”>MyFunction();</script>
WP inserts two
in the post where I have added these two lines but it is an acceptable drawback.

Perfect, thank you.

Ok, I have verified that the “hack” works even if I add the above code line in category-mycategory.php. So I will submit another topic to see if category posts can be recalled from pages menu.

Edit: I solved pointing my page to category/mycategory/ using Page Links To plugin. It would be perfect if I could use relative paths instead of absolute path, but the workaround is acceptable for my needings.

Ok, I understand that if the [previous posts] link recalls the same page the query is re-executed …
I’m asking if the “Page” approach is suitable. Is any hack of category template possible?

I have made some progress but I have two problems yet.
What I have made:
a) copied the template file category.php as page-mytemp.php
b) create a page mytemp.php
c) edited page-mytemp.php template inserting your code, after changing posts_per_page from -1 to 5
Now, when I ask for mytemp page, I see the list of the last 5 posts in my categories, but:
1) the whole post contents are displayes, even if I have inserted the <!–more–> tag
2) the [next posts] and [previous posts] links at the bottom are not displayed.
Notice that if I ask for a category, the teaser is respected and the navigation links are displayed.
Maybe there there any other parameters to define $args?
Thanks for your patience.

Update: added the following lines to template but without success. 🙁

global $more;
// set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post
$more = 0;
