I read docs/formatdomain.html.in, and think it is not easy to
do it. formatdomain.html.in contains more information than pod file
and some restriction does not written into html file(for example
ide disk can not be set to readonly.)

Most information in formatdoamin.html is not included in pod file,
So I think there is no need to do it.
