Hello everyone,
I am trying to insert some elements in between groups, but only if they are not starting the page. Specifically, I would like to put a line between two pieces of text if they are both in the same column on the same page, so that it is clear that they are separate elements. I can imagine this problem might be fairly common, as one may wish to insert an hrule at the beginning of a section before a header, but not if the section starts a new page. Does anyone have any insight into this?

So, you are placing your text in columns? Using the multicol package?
In most circumstances I believe it is better to leave the formatting to LaTeX to do automatically. In this case, if you start a new paragraph which happens to be at the top of a new column, I think LaTeX would not put in an extra line space. Or is the default formatting producing something which is unnatural?
