You can make a lot easier to write with a very simple tweak:
id | name | description | more info
=======================================================
6 | Inset | An inset element | just one element
-------------------------------------------------------
8 | Stories | Another element | another element
| | | with 2 lines
-------------------------------------------------------
9 | Other | Another element | another element
| | | with 2 lines
-------------------------------------------------------
5 | Illust. | An illustration | line breaks are not
| | andn I think you | possible in a table
| | know what I mena.|
That is æsthetically less pleasing, but it’s no less legible, and
it’s most definitely *far* less tedious to write.
