The parameters of Basic functions are named; in the documentation, in many cases, parameter names are specified incorrectly. For example, for the Msgbox function, the documentation states that the function has parameters: MsgBox (Text As String [,Type As Integer [,Dialogtitle As String]]) In fact, the function has parameters with the same name as the similar Excel function. Basic script: Sub test Msgbox Prompt:="Prompt", Buttons:=MB_ICONSTOP, Title:="Documentation" End Sub In my opinion, it is necessary in the documentation to clarify the names of the parameters in this and similar cases.
The current Help page reflects the LibreOffice Basic implementation of the MsgBox instruction or function.
The parameter names of the LibreOffice Basic Msgbox function are described [url=https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/basic/source/runtime/stdobj.cxx?r=fbaf865f#610]here[/url] (as far as I understand). arg(u"Prompt", SbxSTRING), arg(u"Buttons", SbxINTEGER, OPT_), arg(u"Title", SbxSTRING, OPT_), arg(u"Helpfile", SbxSTRING, OPT_), arg(u"Context", SbxINTEGER, OPT_),

As a minimum help pages should document the exact names for arguments that are actually implemented. As for MsgBox function implemented parameter names are: prompt, buttons and title.
