Doctool: Remove version attribute from XML header
We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).

<class name="Expression" inherits="RefCounted" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../class.xsd">
<brief_description>
A class that stores an expression you can execute.
</brief_description>
<description>
An expression can be made of any arithmetic operation, built-in math function call, method call of a passed instance, or built-in type construction call.
An example expression text using the built-in math functions could be [code]sqrt(pow(3, 2) + pow(4, 2))[/code].
In the following example we use a [LineEdit] node to write our expression and show the result.
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
var expression = Expression.new()
func _ready():
$LineEdit.text_submitted.connect(self._on_text_submitted)
func _on_text_submitted(command):
var error = expression.parse(command)
if error != OK:
print(expression.get_error_text())
return
var result = expression.execute()
if not expression.has_execute_failed():
$LineEdit.text = str(result)
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
private Expression _expression = new Expression();
public override void _Ready()
{
GetNode&lt;LineEdit&gt;("LineEdit").TextSubmitted += OnTextEntered;
}
private void OnTextEntered(string command)
{
Error error = _expression.Parse(command);
if (error != Error.Ok)
{
GD.Print(_expression.GetErrorText());
return;
}
Variant result = _expression.Execute();
if (!_expression.HasExecuteFailed())
{
GetNode&lt;LineEdit&gt;("LineEdit").Text = result.ToString();
}
}

<methods>
<method name="execute">
<return type="Variant" />
<param index="0" name="inputs" type="Array" default="[]" />
<param index="1" name="base_instance" type="Object" default="null" />
<param index="2" name="show_error" type="bool" default="true" />
<param index="3" name="const_calls_only" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Executes the expression that was previously parsed by [method parse] and returns the result. Before you use the returned object, you should check if the method failed by calling [method has_execute_failed].
If you defined input variables in [method parse], you can specify their values in the inputs array, in the same order.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_error_text" qualifiers="const">
<return type="String" />
<description>
Returns the error text if [method parse] or [method execute] has failed.
</description>
</method>
<method name="has_execute_failed" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if [method execute] has failed.
</description>
</method>
<method name="parse">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="expression" type="String" />
<param index="1" name="input_names" type="PackedStringArray" default="PackedStringArray()" />
<description>
Parses the expression and returns an [enum Error] code.
You can optionally specify names of variables that may appear in the expression with [param input_names], so that you can bind them when it gets executed.
