I'm trying to do the following:

  • use the metropolis theme when exporting my Orgmode buffer to Beamer with slides numbering,
  • have a table of contents with the numbering of the sections and without the numbering of the slides,
  • have a slide showing the current section in the table of content at the beginning of each new section.

I'm almost there but I can't find a way to remove the slide numbering in the table of contents: I've circled that in red in the image below.

Here's a minimal example:

#+TITLE: Some title
#+startup: beamer
#+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer
#+OPTIONS: H:2 num:t toc:t author:nil
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usetheme[progressbar=foot, sectionpage=none, numbering=fraction]{metropolis}
#+BEAMER_HEADER: \setbeamercovered{transparent=10}
# Show section number in the table of contents
#+BEAMER_HEADER: \setbeamertemplate{section in toc}[sections numbered]
# Show table of content between each section, do not increment the frame numbering and do not show the footer
#+BEAMER_HEADER: \AtBeginSection[] {  \begin{frame}[plain, noframenumbering]{Outline}    \setbeamertemplate{section in toc}[sections numbered]    \setbeamertemplate{subsection in toc}[subsections numbered]    \tableofcontents[currentsection, currentsubsection]  \end{frame}} \AtBeginSubsection[] {  \begin{frame}[plain, noframenumbering]{Outline}    \setbeamertemplate{section in toc}[sections numbered]    \setbeamertemplate{subsection in toc}[subsections numbered]    \tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection]  \end{frame}}
* Title 1
** Section 1
** Section 2
* Title 2
** Section A
** Section B

enter image description here

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

  • This is for the numbering of the titles in the table of content itself, I'd like to keep those numbered! :)

You can add

\pretocmd{\tableofcontents}{\thispagestyle{empty}}{}{}

to your preamble to automatically suppress the footline on the outline frame.


To make it look as if the outline frame would not increase the framenumber, you could add

\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}

to your preamble.


And this is how it would look in the Org mode file:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \pretocmd{\tableofcontents}{\thispagestyle{empty}}{}{}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}

  • Thanks! This works perfectly for the slide numbering! But then I have a difference in items spacing between the first table of contents, and the table of contents showing only the current section. I thought it was cause by the slide numbering but maybe there's something else. Should this be another question?

  • @kir0ul Can you show the intermedia .tex file? Commented Sep 12, 2022 at 18:23
  • Probably a different question: that will allow you to point out exactly the difference in the spacing.

  • But since this answer answered your original question, you should accept it.
