Pagination Customization and DropDown Categories list.

# Pagination links

I want to customize the look and feel of pagination buttons and i was searching for where these links layout are generated

It seems that pagination is outputed like this in template files

<?php echo $pagination->getPagesLinks(); ?>

but it seems i can't find from where the actual html output of the links is generated (that ul and the inner li's with pagination links)


# Dropdown Categories List

In my custom template i want to output the subcategories for current category inside a dropdown list.
Inside frontpage.category.php file i added my dropdown this way

 <ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" role="menu">

                       <li><?php echo $category->nestedLink; ?></li>

 </ul>

For some reason only the first category gets the <li> appended, the other ones are just displayed as plain links (<a href="/subcat_link">subcat_name</a>)


Any hints ? Thanks in advance !
