Just a slip of the pen in the table "Function Description", in tha string:

incorrect with the second comma. Thanks!

I don't see anything wrong. The square brackets show that this (3rd) parameter is optional. If you use three parameters then you need a comma between the 2nd and 3rd.

It's common to see [, parameter ]  in function definitions. Look in text functions for many similar examples.
