noframenumbering: no page number for specific slides in rmarkdown::beamer_presentation

Question

In a LaTex beamer presentation generated with rmarkdown::beamer_presentation, how can I remove the slide numbers for specific slides?

Since the slides contain plots and tables generated by R-markdown, plain LaTex approaches like the attempt below likely won't work.

``` {=latex}
\begin{frame}[noframenumbering]{Frame name}

Frame without slide number but with Rmd-generated tables and plots.
- All other frames still have slide numbers.

\end{frame}
```

Answer 1

The noframenumbering option is not what you think it is. It is to exclude the frame from being counted.

To remove the footline with the page numbering, you can use the plain option:

---
output:
  bookdown::pdf_book:
    base_format: rmarkdown::beamer_presentation
    theme: "THEMENAME"
    slide_level: 2
    keep_tex: true
