[texhax] nopagebreak \hline in a longtable

[Nico Van Cleemput]

When trying this solution this morning I was surprised to see that it
has not the desired effect. It does indeed prohibit a line break on
the line, but does not keep the rows together.
Let me try it by giving a diagram. The original output was

PAGE 1:

row1
-------

PAGE 2:

-------
row2
-------
row3

And I want row1 and row 2 to stay together. After using this solution,
the result is

PAGE 1:

row1
-------

PAGE 2:

row2
-------
row3

So the only effect is that the line is no longer on two pages. The
desired effect however is

PAGE 1:

row1
-------
row2
-------

PAGE 2:

-------
row3

So maybe I'm more looking for something to group several rows and
disallow any break within that group.


Kind regards and thanks in advance for any help.
