I wanted to output all my categories in the sidebar of my wordpress theme. Now I use the function wp_list_categories(); which works fine. However it always displays the categories in a list and I don't want that.

What I want is to display the categories as links so that they are inline elements. I could stay with the list and just style them as inline elements by applying display: inline-block; to the list items. I guess it is semantically correct, too.

So is there a way of getting rid of the list in WordPress or should I stay with my approach? And is it semantically correct?

Thanks for all your answers.

Did you had a look at the Display Categories Assigned to a Post example in wp_list_categories in the Codex. This should give you a very good idea on how to modify your own code. This is just my simplistic way to achieve what you want. Feel free to modify as needed

<?php
$taxonomy = 'category';
$separator = ', ';

if ( !is_wp_error( $post_terms ) ) {

    $terms = wp_list_categories( 'title_li=&style=none&echo=0&taxonomy=' . $taxonomy );
    $terms = rtrim( trim( str_replace( '<br />',  $separator, $terms ) ), $separator );

    // display post categories
    echo  $terms;
}
?>
