I have solution working like this (thanks to input from this list earlier):
while IFS= read -r -d "" path; do
echo -n "<li><ul>"
echo -n "${path//\//<li>}"
echo -n"</ul></li>"
echo -n "</ul>"
done < <(find  my_directory  -print0)


It works fine, but I am measuring if I can get a little speed boost by doing 
something like this:
find  my_directory  -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 -I {} /bin/echo 
"<li><ul>"${IS_IT_POSSIBLE_TO_PICK_UP_ECHO_VALUE_HERE//\//<li>}"</ul></li>"


Thanks!
