 * Hi everyone,
 * When I add a link category, I have noticed that the generated html is incorrect
   as follows:
 *     ```
       <li id="linkcat-4" class="linkcat"><h2>Test</h2>
       	<ul class="xoxo blogroll">
       <li><a href="#" title="test link">test link</a></li>
   
       	</ul>
       </li>
       ```
   
 * Is this normal as the page wont validate? The
    -  tags should be inside the
 *  -  tags. Even:
 *     ```
       <h2 id="linkcat-4" class="linkcat">Test</h2>
       	<ul class="xoxo blogroll">
       <li><a href="#" title="test link">test link</a></li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * would be better. Can I edit this in one of the php files so I can get the desired
   output.
 * Thanks,
 * Sam.

 * Sorry, my tags were stripped out of my post. I meant the li tags should be within
   the ul tags, not outside.
 * Thanks,
 * Sam.
