How to list categories?

[CoolAJ86]

I'm looking to do this:

Categories:
<ul>
{% for category in site.categories %}
<li>{{ category.title }}:
<ul>
{% for post in category %}
<li>{{ post.title }}: {{ post.url }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

But I'm stumped as to how to find the name/title/text attribute of
category.

I'm still looking for an answer to the original question.

Here's another question: Is there a way to do this?

{% for category in sites.categories %}

    {% for posts in category | last %}

    

That said, I've found a few nasty hackish workaround that don't work with jekyll alone (on github, for example):

And a nasty hackish workaround that I created:

---

layout: default

title: Fastr Blog

---

<h2>Categories:</h2>

<ul>

{% for category in site.categories %}

  <li><a href="#{{ category | first }}">{{ category | first }}</a></li>

{% endfor %}

</ul>

<h2>Articles by Category:</h2>

<ul>

{% for category in site.categories %}

  <li><a name="{{ category | first }}">{{ category | first }}</a>

    <ul>

    {% for posts in category %}

      {% for post in posts %}

        <li><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>

      {% endfor %}

    {% endfor %}

    </ul>

  </li>

{% endfor %}

</ul>

{% for post in site.categories.quickstart %}

<!-- h2><a href=".{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></h2 -->

<!-- {{ post.content }} -->

{% endfor %}

Page generated: {{ site.time | date_to_string }}

Since categories is internally passes `do |category, posts|` it looks like an array where `category | first` is the category name and `category | last` is the array of posts. `category | first` isn't treated as an iterable, so it just gets skipped over in `for post in posts`. So it happens to work, but it's incorrect.
