I’m using the following to render the_tags() in WordPress 2.9.2, currently developing a theme on localhost:
<?php the_tags('<ul class="postmetadata"><li>','</li><li>','</li></ul>'); ?>
and would like to have same –near-semantic- output from the_category(), which doesn’t seem obviously attainable (having looked at the relevant codex page).
If you call
the_category()without any arguments, it will output an unordered list by default.
