#### 12.11.6 Texinfo specific attributes

‘`texinfo`’ back-end understands several attributes in plain lists and tables. They must be specified using an `#+ATTR_TEXINFO` keyword, written just above the list or table.

#### Plain lists

In Texinfo output, description lists appear as two-column tables, using the default command `@table`. You can use `@ftable` or `@vtable` 163 instead with `:table-type` attribute.

In any case, these constructs require a highlighting command for entries in the list. You can provide one with `:indic` attribute. If you do not, it defaults to the value stored in `org-texinfo-def-table-markup`, which see.

    #+ATTR_TEXINFO: :indic @asis
    - foo :: This is the text for /foo/, with no highlighting.

#### Tables

When exporting a table, column widths are deduced from the longest cell in each column. You can also define them explicitly as fractions of the line length, using `:columns` attribute.

    #+ATTR_TEXINFO: :columns .5 .5
    | a cell | another cell |
