Workbench.viewCategories()

This script displays a list of links to each of a weblog's categories that is being rendered as HTML. Other categories are ignored.

To use the script on a Web page or a template such as #homeTemplate.txt, at the spot where the category links should appear, add this macro:

<%Workbench.viewCategories()%>

Here's the output of that macro for my weblog:

Jargon
Java
Manila Tips
Microsoft Bob
Movable Type
OPML Link Publisher
Politics
Radio Userland
RSS 2.0
Salon Blogs
Sports

The macro displays each category link separated by BR tags. It can be called with three parameters, in this order:

1. class, the name of the CSS class for each hyperlink (default: no class)
2. preText, the HTML and/or text to display before each hyperlink (default: none)
3. postText, the HTML and/or text to display after each hyperlink (default: <BR>)

An example:

<%Workbench.viewCategories("sidebarlink", "<li>", "<br>")%>
