There is a specific directory I would like to allow listing of.
How can make a simple HTML file that will contain the contents of this directory?

You can either:
Write a server-side script page like PHP, JSP, ASP.net etc to generate this HTML dynamically
or
Setup the web-server that you are using (e.g. Apache) to do exactly that automatically for directories that doesn’t contain welcome-page (e.g. index.html)
