Complete link list separated by category names formatted as headers

Hi,

I have a site that wil eventually have a lot of links sorted into categories and the user should be able to add new categories and links.

On one page I want to automatically generate a complete list of all links separated by their categories formatted as headers like so:

<h3>Category One</h3>
   <ul>
      <li>Link 1</li>
      <li>Link 2</li>
      <li>Link 3</li>
   </u>

<h3>Category Two</h3>
   <ul>
      <li>Link 1</li>
      <li>Link 2</li>
      <li>Link 3</li>
   </u>

etc. etc.

How do I get Textpattern to loop through all link categories and output the contained links?
It looks like a job for <txp:if_different>, but I don’t understand it well enough to use it.

Any ideas?

Cheers Martin

Thanks, Yiannis and Jakob,

that was embarrassingly easy.
I had never used <txp:category_list> much and was trying to build something with the wrong tags for the job. :-)
