The plan is to generate the Class Reference using gdscript-docs-maker. However, we are currently facing an issue where the extended Class links point to ..\something, which results in 404 links on the Wiki page. While it's possible to update the generation process to link to the Godot docs instead, changing the package is not an ideal solution.

I added a new page so we don't lose the additional info about script inheritance and inheritance chaining. I also added a section for virtual functions in script extensions there. https://github.com/GodotModding/godot-mod-loader/wiki/Script-Extensions

This is a good idea and something I would personally love to use in GMLWiki for the API documentation. The only concern I have is gdscript-docs-maker only works in 3.x not 4.x as mentioned in the repository. Any solutions?

I guess we will have to use --gdscript-docs and convert the xml to markdown
