Nothing out of the box, but you can, for example, introduce a custom attribute that will control that. #+attr_all: :export (not texinfo) Some text _not_ for texinfo here. Then, (defun yant/org-export-conditional-export (data backend info) (org-element-map data org-element-all-elements (lambda (el) (pcase (car (read-from-string (or (org-export-read-attribute :attr_all el :export) "nil"))) (`nil t) (`(not . ,backends) (when (member backend backends) (org-element-extract el))) (backends (unless (member backend backends) (org-element-extract el))))) info nil nil t) data) (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-parse-tree-functions #'yant/org-export-conditional-export) -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
