The command \hrulefill
fills the rest of the line with a rule. Now, I would like to create a vertical line to the bottom of the page, starting from the last paragraph on that page. Is this possible?
I need the line on the left side, but I am also interested to understand how this can be achieved conceptually, as (to my knowledge) there is no way to know where you are at a certain moment during rendering.

The command
\hrulefill
doesn't know where it is issued from; it just fills the remaining space on the line in a similar way to what\hfill
does (actually it is the same way).For
\vrulefill
it's quite similar:You can make the rule start from where the last paragraph ends by finishing the paragraph with
\parvrulefill
as in these examples:
