Hallo

I search for it  and did notsucceeded.
Where is exact definition of the grammar used here? 

I thing the text "[,...]" is unclear concerning what is to be repeted.

here:
you state 
   " Dots (...) mean that the preceding element can be repeated. "

from that definition  the fragment "[,...]" means zero or more commas.

It is often so that not one element but several elements are repeated  .

Sometimes from the context, one may find out how it is meant.
In other cases it not so clear .

Well do you have a definition or third party standard?



Thank you very much,Peter Korim.
