To format the overall list container use the class paramater:
class – CSS class for the default UL generated by the plugin.
Also, you can change the generated code to a div if you pass the parameter “div” to “template”:
[catlist template=div class=mygallerytheme]
This will create something like:
<div class="mygallerytheme">
<p>Post 1</p>
<p>Post 2</p>
</div>
Other than that, to include a wrapper around the default ul, you should use the template system to wrap the [catlist] calls with a custom div.
