	<description>
		A weakref can hold a [RefCounted], without contributing to the reference counter. A weakref can be created from an [Object] using [method @GlobalScope.weakref]. If this object is not a reference, weakref still works, however, it does not have any effect on the object. Weakrefs are useful in cases where multiple classes have variables that refer to each other. Without weakrefs, using these classes could lead to memory leaks, since both references keep each other from being released. Making part of the variables a weakref can prevent this cyclic dependency, and allows the references to be released.

Changed the doc class generation to individual files per class. It is also possible to save module files in module directories and the build system will recognize them. 2017-09-13 04:42:36 +08:00			`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>`
Add an XML schema for documentation This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation can still work offline. Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions. 2022-02-14 21:18:53 +08:00			`<class name="WeakRef" inherits="RefCounted" version="4.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../class.xsd">`

doc: Use self-closing tags for `return` and `argument` For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring having all details in the method's description. Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there. 2021-07-30 21:28:05 +08:00			`<return type="Variant" />`
