The current documentation uses the term "running" for two different things.
In the description of get_id() it claims "it will return empty string if the thread is not running", but it actually will return the thread id until wait_to_finish is called.
In the description of is_alive() it claims "it will return true if the thread is running", but in this case it means "the provided function hasn't finished running yet".
Updated the functions documentation slighly to make this clear.
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.
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.
An attempt to improve the documentation for Thread
- Adds documentation on how and when the `wait_to_finish` should be used
- Adds a note on what to be careful about when using `wait_to_finish`
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
- Document a few more properties and methods
- Add more information to many classes
- Fix lots of typos and gramar mistakes
- Use [code] tags for parameters consistently
- Use [b] and [i] tags consistently
- Put "Warning:" and "Note:" on their own line to be more visible,
and make them always bold
- Tweak formatting in code examples to be more readable
- Use double quotes consistently
- Add more links to third-party technologies
