Generate html based on directory structure

Question

does any one knows a linux based program/script that can generate html files based on directory structure?

I made my own in python to index my Dropbox public folder. It wasn't very hard. (dl.dropbox.com/u/2502059/index.html if you want to see. The script that generated it is makeIndex2.py under /Python Scripts.)
Thanks! That helps a lot. I can get the concept from your script.

Some versions of tree, which is a common utility, can produce HTML output.

tree -H baseHREF

	Hey Dennis Thanks a lot. Your answer is closest and easiest to deploy. I wasn't aware tree command is so powerful. – TusharG Jul 23 '10 at 2:53
	Unfortunately this isn't available on the Windows tree command I have. – jamiebarrow Aug 4 '11 at 7:56

	Yes I know, hence 'Unfortunately' ... :) The -H switch isn't available for me, on Windows. I do have the tree command. I think via one of the GNU core utils packages. – jamiebarrow Aug 8 '11 at 9:32
