There are two problems here.

Firstly, ttree only supports a single asterisk on the right-hand side
of a dependency definition. A '*' on its own will work, something like
'*.html' doesn't.

Secondly, if you're working on a Unix-like operating system, then the
'*.html' will be expanded by the shell before ttree even sees the
options. You need to quote the '*' to prevent the shell from seeing it
(but even then your solution won't work because of my first point
above).

ttree is provided as a simple example of a TT command-line tool. I'm
afraid it doesn't support complex requirements like yours. You're
really expected to write your own programs to handle stuff like this.
