First time poster, long time reader.
I am converting my static html file to a dynamic wordpress site. the markup I wrote will list categories in a definition list where the wp category name is a <dt> and the wp category description is a <dd>. My problem is that the wp_list_categories function is not as flexible as I would like, and the extent to which I know php is limited to tweaking built-in functions of wp. What I am looking for is a custom function to accomplish my goal of using a definition list to list wp categories with their category description. Then I can drop that function in the functions.php file and use it throughout the site.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thx!
