More elegant way to output linked category list

Hi All,
On the Reviews page of my site, I want to output a linked list of categories. The two caveats are that I only want categories for which there are articles (in the reviews section), and I only want category1. This is working:

<txp:if_section name="reviews">
       <h3>by Cruise Line</h3>
       <ul><txp:article_custom limit="999" section="reviews" sort="Category1 asc">
       <txp:if_different>
       <li><a href="/reviews/?c=<txp:category1 />"><txp:category1 title="1" /></a></li>
       </txp:if_different>
       </txp:article_custom></ul>
</txp:if_section>

But it seems like there should be a more elegant way?

Re: More elegant way to output linked category list

I only can offer some code editions :)

<txp:if_section name="reviews">
       <h3>by Cruise Line</h3>
       <txp:article_custom limit="999" section="reviews" sort="Category1 asc" wraptag="ul" break="li">
         <txp:if_different>
           <a href="/<txp:section />?c=<txp:category1 />"><txp:category1 title="1" /></a>
         </txp:if_different>
       </txp:article_custom>
</txp:if_section>

I think cbs_category_list might do what you want.
