Create a plain title slide instead of a regular one?

[henriqpsantos]

I'm using a template that has footers on every beamer slide.

How can I make it so that the title slide has no footers? I've tried to generate a title slide with \titleslide within # {.plain}, which generates a title slide after the main title and toc slides.

I've searched the internet far and wide, to no avail. Only thing I've come across is title-slide-attributes, and adding plain to these doesn't work.

I'm using markdown input and pdf output through tectonic, if that matters.

This isn't the most elegant fix, but to get a plain title frame, you can:

1. Run pandoc -D beamer > template.beamer to get an editable copy of the default Beamer template.
2. Then you can modify the line: \frame{\titlepage} to: \frame[plain]{\titlepage}.
3. Finally, you can either add template: template.beamer to your defaults file, or add --template template.beamer to your command-line parameters.
