 For attributes that aren't standard boolean attributes (per the HTML spec, see previous section). It's still possible to mark the attribute for _removal_ when it gets passed `null`. This is in contrast to the regular behaviour where the attribute is set to whatever value it's bound to (even falsy values `false`, `undefined`, `0` etc).
 
 For example:
-`<a x-bind:href="enabled ? link | null"></a>`
+`<a x-bind:href="enabled ? link : null"></a>`
 
 This will completely remove the `href` attribute when `enabled` is false but set it to the value of `link` when enabled is true.
