I am trying to figure out a way to ouput all categories in the list section of my website.
So, say I have a news section and in that news section I have 5 categories and each of those categories has 4 sub categories I want to display all those categories in my list, no matter which "level" of the list you are viewing, it should output all categories of this news section all the time.


I tried to use pagelist plugin but that (obviously) is created to output pages within specific categories.
I looked at the http://www.cotonti.com/extensions/navigation-structure/catindex - 
Category Index plugin but that is build for Genoa and works on the index instead.
I tried to made it work with the http://www.cotonti.com/extensions/navigation-structure/table-of-contents TOC plugin but that plugin seems to have been build without the thought of a dropdown possibility.
The TOC plugin seems to be able to do what I need but it outputs a text list (like here: http://www.cotonti.com/docs/ ) and I would like to make it work with a dropdown. So, it should not show all the text by default but use the styling I would like to use instead (my specific dropdown nav menu). I have been trying to make it work but I think the php code interferes with any list styling you want to apply.

I hope someone can tell me how I could do this or maybe there is an easier way?
