Similarly to this question, I get a misplaced \cr error, which is probably a symptom of a previous error. However, my file is very large and I do not see where the previous error is.

Can I tell LaTeX to not try to recover from errors on its own, but just stop at the first error it encounters?

I tried the flag -halt-on-error but it just stops at the misplaced \cr error, which is not very helpful.

EDIT: I compile with latex from the command line.

    Well then you probably really have a misplaced \cr. E.g. a & when you should have a \. – Ulrike Fischer Mar 09 '19 at 18:54
  • I would look at the log file after the compilation is finished, and see where the first error is. You can get up from your chair while the compilation is going on, so longer compilation time is a bonus: https://xkcd.com/303/ – Benjamin McKay Mar 10 '19 at 07:29
