Why not have two different kinds of table: one where each line is a
row, and one where rows are show explicitly with dashes. The second
type could use ===== or something else after the header:

  id  |    name     |         description          | price
======|=============|==============================|=======
    1 | gizmo       | Takes care of the doohickies |   1.99
‐‐‐‐‐‐+‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐+‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐+‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
   10 | dojigger    | Handles:                     | 102.98
      |             | * gizmos                     |
      |             | * doodads                    |
      |             | * thingamobobs               |

Would mean: a header and two rows.
