 * I am using this code to see a list of post titles:
 *     ```
       query_posts("cat=7&showposts=10");
       ?>
       <ul>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
       <?php endwhile;?>
       </ul>
       <?php
       ```
   
 * the result is correct:
    * Post 1 * Post 2 * … but after seeing the list is again
   the full content of the Post: Post 1 Text of Post 1 … Post 2 Text of Post 2 …
 * Is there a way to view only the list of the titles of the Post?

 * If you’re seeing content it’s not the result of the code you have above, there’s
   nothing in that code that would output the post content.
