I want to make a document that contains a synopsis of events, like

1770 History para- culture para- science para-

I tried to use a longtable
to achieve such a result, but run into the problem that longtables
do not allow page breaks within cells, but only inbetween rows. In my example, page breaks are only possible between the 1770 and 1771 row, but not for example, if one of the rows itself becomes too long for one page.
The text of the paragraphs comes from a database and is automatically assembled. So manual adjustments are not an option.
Exists there any alternative for longtables
that allows page breaks inside a row, or is there any other way to achieve such a layout without using tables?
