## Description
It’s an easy way to show and order all posts from category/tag into a page/post.
Really handy for showing your tutorials, articles, etcetera.
It shows as a list(
- ) so it will apply your blog style-sheet as you wish.
**Note:** If the selected term(category or tag) has a description, it will be shown
in a
tag.
To see it in action click [here](http://felipetonello.com/blog/tutoriais-e-artigos/).
Usage:
1. Go to Category Show’s options page and generate the tag.
2. Insert your new tag into your post.
Tags to know:
If you want to apply some CSS, those are the tags you should know: ****, **<
ul>**, **
- **, **** and **
**.
Output example:
```
Category
Category description, if exists
```
That’s it!
### TODO

* Page support.
* A RSS edition of Category Show.
* Add widget support.
* Select user’s own category in options page. (DONE)
* Make it possible to get a date in front of each link.

the tag. Added Brazilian Portuguese translation.

to generate neat tags for the post. Even more optimized!
* 0.2.3: Fixing end tag bug. Updating readme.txt file nicely.

Yes. Anytime you want. But remember that Category Show doesn’t have page support**
