Lets say, I have 3 files in a directory

#ls
alpha
beta
file with spaces

Now I want to list them in the following manner
<LI><A href="alpha">alpha</A>
<LI><A href="beta">beta</A>
<LI><A href="file with spaces">file with spaces</A>

I tried this,
ls |awk '{ print "<LI><A href=\" "$1" \"> " $1 "</A>"}'

It works fine for the files without spaces but only pickes up the first word of the file with spaces.

I know that I am doing it wrong, but am not sure of the corrected method. Please help.

NAME

       clarfgp.f -

SYNOPSIS

   Functions/Subroutines
       subroutine clarfgp (N, ALPHA, X, INCX, TAU)
	   CLARFGP generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix) with non-negatibe beta.

Function/Subroutine Documentation
   subroutine clarfgp (integerN, complexALPHA, complex, dimension( * )X, integerINCX, complexTAU)
       CLARFGP generates an elementary reflector (Householder matrix) with non-negatibe beta.

       Purpose:

	    CLARFGP generates a complex elementary reflector H of order n, such
	    that

		  H**H * ( alpha ) = ( beta ),	 H**H * H = I.
			 (   x	 )   (	 0  )

	    where alpha and beta are scalars, beta is real and non-negative, and
	    x is an (n-1)-element complex vector.  H is represented in the form

		  H = I - tau * ( 1 ) * ( 1 v**H ) ,
				( v )

	    where tau is a complex scalar and v is a complex (n-1)-element
	    vector. Note that H is not hermitian.

	    If the elements of x are all zero and alpha is real, then tau = 0
	    and H is taken to be the unit matrix.

       Parameters:
	   N

		     N is INTEGER
		     The order of the elementary reflector.

	   ALPHA

		     ALPHA is COMPLEX
		     On entry, the value alpha.
		     On exit, it is overwritten with the value beta.

	   X

		     X is COMPLEX array, dimension
				    (1+(N-2)*abs(INCX))
		     On entry, the vector x.
		     On exit, it is overwritten with the vector v.

	   INCX

		     INCX is INTEGER
		     The increment between elements of X. INCX > 0.

	   TAU

		     TAU is COMPLEX
		     The value tau.
