Document with each word having overlay

Question

Is there a possibility to make each word in my beamer presentation come after a click without adding \pause before each word?

another approach using the animate package: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/81850/36296 — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 23 '18 at 15:09

The following could be used in fragile beamer frames. Please don't complain if it breaks other stuff :)

\documentclass{beamer}
\newcommand{\AND}{%
  \hskip\fontdimen2\font plus \fontdimen3\font minus \fontdimen4\font
  \pause
  }

\newenvironment{pausespaces}
 {\par\obeyspaces\begingroup\lccode`\~=`\ \lowercase{\endgroup\let~}\AND}
 {\par}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[fragile]

\begin{pausespaces}%
some text some text someveryverylongword text text
\end{pausespaces}

\end{frame}

\end{document}

Do you mean https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/250559/4427 ? – egreg Dec 22 '18 at 16:04
@samcarter It has some problem with blocks in beamer. Please check my file https://pastebin.com/1R7UFRaW – Praveen Dec 22 '18 at 16:42
@supremum As I said: don't complain if it breaks stuff :) – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 22 '18 at 16:50

@supremum And don't load enumitem with beamer – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 22 '18 at 16:51

@supremum And don't use two-letter font commands, use \textbf{...} instead – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 22 '18 at 16:52

@supremum And don't use \ for new lines – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 22 '18 at 16:54
@supremum If I move the pausespaces environment inside the block it works fine. (IMHO uncovering large portions of text word by word is a bad idea) – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 22 '18 at 16:55
@samcarter Thanks, should I use \newline instead of \? – Praveen Dec 22 '18 at 16:57

@supremum In most situations: just use an empty line – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Dec 22 '18 at 16:59
