How to remove a title slide from a Rstudio ioslides presentation

Question

I use R Studio and R Markdown to create an ioslides presentation. I would like to remove the title slide and start the presentation using a regular slide. So far, I have tried to remove the header from the YAML parameters, but this just leads to an empty cover page.

How to delete a cover page?

my yaml parameters

--- output: ioslides_presentation: widescreen: true ---

You can try customizing the template file. You can find the default path on your system by typing rmarkdown:::rmarkdown_system_file("rmd/ioslides/default.html") in the console.

The easiest way to play with it is to copy it to your project directory, rename it and add an additional YAML parameter, for example template: custom_template.html . Although this may not be enough to completely remove the title slide, you can always customize it so that it looks like the first slide of the presentation.
