How about making this a nice bash executable.

#!/bin/bash
find . -maxdepth $1 -name "*.$2" -exec echo "{}<br/>" \; > list_$2.html


Now you can enter 2 variables to make a custom page for each file type.

eg:
[~]# list_tree 2 pdf

This will create the file 'list_pdf.html' of only the pdf files in the current directory and one directory underneath.
