Category list display
To display your list in the same format as the category pages with the first letter capitalized, here is the code snippet to use in place of the table creation. This code snippit assumes that your list is already alphabetized. For short lists, the sort command could be added, but for long lists it will probably be too time consuming.

$chunk = (int) (count ( $articles ) / 3);

// get and display header $r = ' ';
