Re: list all categories and all relevant article titles
Article_custom and catching categories at form with <txp:if_different /> might be worth of try.

Re: list all categories and all relevant article titles
** page **
<txp:article_custom sort="Category1 asc, Title asc" limit="999" form="category_list_different"/>
** form: category_list_different **
<txp:if_different>
<h2><txp:category1 /></h2>
</txp:if_different>
<txp:permlink>
<txp:title />
</txp:permlink>
<br />Bad: lists also articles without category at the beginning of list.
Good: lists also… (:
That’s the automatic way I’m aware of – there might be others too. Publisher has to be sure the category1 is set. I’m not sure if there is a way to select only articles with categories.. And you have no control over order of categories listed besides asc/desc ordering.
