The common description reads better... but unfortunately it lost
information about the optional parameter, namely <mark>.  The
'-dirty' is just the default for <dirty-mark>, and '-broken' is
the default for <broken-mark>.

Maybe /the suffix "-broken"/<broken-mark> suffix ('-broken' by default)/
and similarly for "-dirty"?

Best,
