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.

Low-level class for creating parsers for [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML]XML[/url] files.
</brief_description>
<description>
This class can serve as base to make custom XML parsers. Since XML is a very flexible standard, this interface is low-level so it can be applied to any possible schema.

</method>
<method name="get_named_attribute_value" qualifiers="const">
<return type="String" />
<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />

<return type="String" />
<description>
Gets the contents of a text node. This will raise an error in any other type of node.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_node_name" qualifiers="const">
<return type="String" />
<description>
Gets the name of the current element node. This will raise an error if the current node type is neither [constant NODE_ELEMENT] nor [constant NODE_ELEMENT_END].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_node_offset" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int" />
<description>
Gets the byte offset of the current node since the beginning of the file or buffer.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_node_type">
<return type="int" enum="XMLParser.NodeType" />
<description>
Gets the type of the current node. Compare with [enum NodeType] constants.
</description>
</method>
<method name="has_attribute" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
<description>
Check whether the current element has a certain attribute.
</description>
</method>
<method name="is_empty" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />

</description>
</method>
<method name="open">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<argument index="0" name="file" type="String" />
<description>
Opens an XML file for parsing. This returns an error code.

<method name="seek">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<argument index="0" name="position" type="int" />
<description>
Moves the buffer cursor to a certain offset (since the beginning) and read the next node there. This returns an error code.
</description>
</method>
<method name="skip_section">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Skips the current section. If the node contains other elements, they will be ignored and the cursor will go to the closing of the current element.
</description>
</method>
</methods>
