I hadn't heard anything, but perhaps you just need to match the  
section header and separate the sections by horizontal rules:

# My section

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do  
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim  
ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut  
aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in  
reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla  
pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in  
culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

# My second section

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do  
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim  
ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut  
aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in  
reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla  
pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in  
culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

That way, the only content-free lines would be the rules. I think  
bsag's Journal bundle did something like that.

Best, Mark
