Something like this:
#! /bin/bash
# Create home.html file in a directory for plucker CRH
if [ $# -eq 1 ];then
DIR=$1
else
DIR=.
fi
cd "$DIR"
cat >home.html <<EOM
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Pictures</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Tap the Picture for a larger view.</P>
<P>
EOM
for file in *
do
if [ "$file" != "home.html" ]; then
name=`basename $file`
echo "<li><a href=\"$file\">$file</a>" >>home.html
fi
done
echo "</BODY></HTML>" >>home.html
Set it to be your 'beforepluck' command (if the parser supports it)
and you're all set.
