I do not think that using Texinfo as intermediate format is useful. Texinfo does not support many of the available Org syntax structures like, for example, backend-specific export blocks. We will inevitably lose some document structure information when exporting to Texinfo. Please remember that Texinfo is by no means a generic export engine - it is tailored to produce software documentation specifically and may not be suitable for more generic authored documents. Note that we already have a much more feature-full export functionality. RMS even suggested that Org might be used as a replacement for Texinfo: https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/e1nzqh5-0001ob...@fencepost.gnu.org Best, Ihor
