R Markdown: knit a pdf and exclude title-page-CodePudding

is it possible to exclude the title page from the knitted pdf?

my current yaml header looks as follows:

---
title: ""
output: pdf_document
classoption: landscape
header-includes: 
- \pagenumbering{gobble}

---

when i knit the pdf it however still adds a first blank page to the pdf for the yaml information. is it possible to exclude the title page from the knitted document? with something like preserve_yaml = FALSE? (Of course I could just delete the blank first page in de pdf, but im going to generate this document on a regular basis, so it would improve the process quit a bit...)

thanks for any hints / help!

CodePudding user response：

header-includes: 
- \pagenumbering{gobble}
- \AtBeginDocument{\let\maketitle\relax}

this should tell pandoc to not process the title page.
