What I’m requesting

The Categories List block (and when switched to Tags) currently supports displaying terms as a bulleted list or a dropdown. I’d like to expand the available display options so designers can present categories/tags in more common UI patterns without custom code.

Why

In many designs, categories/tags are shown as lightweight metadata or simple navigation—often inline (e.g., “News, Updates, Events”) or as a plain vertical list without bullets. Right now, those layouts usually require custom CSS or custom blocks.

Desired new display options

1. Inline list - Show categories/tags as a sequence of linked words on one line (wrapping as needed). Items separated by a delimiter such as comma, dot, pipe, slash, etc. (ideally selectable). Visible underlines should also be optative.
2. Vertical list (no bullets) - Same as the current list, but without bullet markers (Optional/nice-to-have)
3. Tag-style inline layout - With each term feeling like its own little element: spacing (gap) and optional styling (background, border, padding, rounded corners).

Notes

This should apply to both Categories and Tags modes.
Implementation details (markup, controls, styling system) are intentionally open for developer discussion.
