Although, I am not sure if this is worth fixing. The reason why you observe this behavior is in implementation detail in ox-texinfo - `org-texinfo--split-definition' parses description lists, replacing them with #+attr_texinfo: :options name #+begin_defvar ... #+end_defvar block, and it happens to be that :options nil is treated specially by Org export (See `org-texinfo-special-block' calling `org-export-read-attribute')). "nil" is not read literally, but is instead interpreted as removing the option value - when one needs to combine multiple attributes and override previous setting. In theory, we may fix this edge case just for ox-texinfo. But is it worth it? Do you _really_ have variable name "nil"? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at . Support Org development at , or support my work at
