What i want to achieve is really simple:
I want to be able to align cell content at the top (which is the default behavior of tabular) while being able to manually break lines (and anything you could normally do in a paragraph environment). For instance:
However this produces the following result:
The left parbox is vertically centered. During the past two days, I've searched the whole LaTeX community in vain for a solution to this problem. I've come across solutions consisting in the use of raisebox that force you to manually grope for the right difference value depending on the content of the two cells. That is no solution to me. I want this to be automatic as it is in any document editor... I would be very surprised if LaTeX didn't allow this kind of construction!
You can adjust the inner-text using the optional parameters for parbox

This is a duplicate of a question posted at LaTeX Community . I'll post the same thing I did there:
But there is more discussion there.

A box is the TeX term for an invisible container that can hold a visible element, nothing, or other boxes. Glue is the TeX term for an invisible connector that determines the relative position of joined boxes. Each separate visible element contained within a TeX document is contained within a box. A visible element can be a letter, image, geometric shape, etc. TeX builds pages by gluing boxes together according to the default TeX rules, default LaTeX rules, or document commands. In a typical document, letter boxes are glued to other letter boxes to form words, which are then elastically glued to other words to form sentences. Sentences are broken into lines and placed in paragraph boxes. Elastic glue is squeezed or stretched to fully justify lines within paragraph boxes. Paragraph boxes are glued to diagram boxes, and so on.
While it is true that boxes can hold other boxes, not all commands that can generate boxes can be used within all other commands that can generate boxes. There are often workarounds for these limitations.
The size of a box is typically related to the size and position of its contents, but it doesn't have to be. Many box commands accept custom widths and/or heights, and there are other commands that affect the shape and position of boxes. Boxes are placed relative to other boxes, while visible elements are placed relative to the boxes which contain them.
A more complete description of boxes and glue can be found in chapters 11 and 12 of Donald E. Knuth's, 'The TeXbook'. A list of basic LaTeX box and glue commands can be found at http://www.personal.ceu.hu/tex/spacebox.htm .
TeX character boxes have three dimensional properties:
Character boxes are glued together at the baseline.
A \parbox is a box of specific width formatted in paragraph mode. In paragraph mode, text is broken into lines and lines are broken into pages.
\parbox [pos][height][contentpos] { width }{ text }
width defines the width of the paragraph box. Text will be broken into lines so that it fits within this width. Besides fixed lengths , you can also provide user defined length macros or TeX/LaTeX defined length macros and primitives such as \width , \height , \depth and \totalheight . (See character box above for explanations of depth and height.)
height defines the height of the \parbox .
pos selects which baseline to join. It can be t op, b ottom, or c enter. This parameter is often confusing to new users! See the special note below.
contentpos positions the contents of the box within the box. It can be one of c enter, t op, b ottom or s pread. Note that contentpos has no effect if the box is not larger than the text it contains.
\pbox is available in the pbox package. A \pbox has the same parameters as a \parbox , but if the user provided width parameter is larger than the actual contents of the pbox the pbox shrinks to fit the content. This is only useful if the content contains manual line breaks and you wish to fit the resulting material.
\pbox [pos][height] { width }{ text }
The minipage environment takes the same parameters as a \parbox , and behaves nearly identically to it. The difference between a minipage and a \parbox is that a \parbox can only contain a single paragraph and you cannot use all commands and environments inside it, while a minipage may contain multiple paragraphs and, in fact, almost anything.
\begin { minipage } [pos][height][contentpos] { width } text \end { minipage }
You can make use of minipage , \parbox , and \pbox to embed paragraphs in non-paragraph boxes. For instance:
The pos alignment parameter does not refer to the \parbox 's borders when contentpos is either missing or equal to pos and anytime pos = c enter! Under any of these circumstances the alignment parameter selects which line of text within the \parbox will be used to align the paragraph box. The \parbox is placed so the baseline of that chosen line of text is aligned to the baseline of the box that the \parbox is glued to. Thus, if the pos is set top, the baseline of the top line of text in the \parbox will line up with the baseline outside of the \parbox . In the special case of a parbox that has only one line of text, that one and only line of text is the top, bottom, and center line of text simultaneously, and changing pos will appear to do nothing unless additional text is added.
If the contentpos is present and not the same as pos and pos is not center , the \parbox will align at its borders.
Makebox creates a single-line box, optionally of fixed width, but otherwise large enough to hold its contents. Note that the width does not have to be wider than the contents: for instance, setting width to 0 typesets the content without changing the current position. (E.g., this would allow for an overstrike.) Makebox is typically used to prevent hyphenation (see Hyphenation ) or simply to keep text that belongs together from being placed on separate lines. You cannot place line breaks (\\) within a Makebox. mbox is the shorthand no-option version of Makebox.
The pos parameter takes a one letter value: c enter, flush l eft, flush r ight, or s pread the text to fill the box.
The command \framebox behaves identically to \makebox except that it additionally draws a box around its contents.
The following example shows you some things you could do with the \makebox and \framebox commands:
You can tweak the following frame lengths.
This prints a thick and more distant frame:
This shows the box frame of a letter.
The framed package is available that adds the framed environment which provides an an easy way to frame a paragraph within a document:
A savebox is a non-rendered box that is saved for later repeated rendering via the usebox command.
The command \newsavebox creates a placeholder for storing content;
the command \savebox stores the specified content in the placeholder without rendering it in the document; and \usebox renders the content of the placeholder into the document.
See Colors .
\fcolorbox can also be tweaked with \fboxsep and \fboxrule .
The fancybox package provides additional boxes.
Now that we control the horizontal, the obvious next step is to go for the vertical. No problem for LaTeX. The
command lets you define the vertical properties of a box. You can use \width , \height , \depth and \totalheight in the first three parameters, in order to act upon the size of the box inside the text argument. The two optional parameters set for the height and depth of the raisebox. For instance you can observe the difference when embedded in a framebox.
The graphicx package features additional boxes.

I am trying to build a table on LaTeX with parbox. I have found how to do with parbox. However, the length between rows makes the text so pack. Do you know how to increase the length?
The tabular columns are already set using a p aragraph specification, so there's no need to set each cell using a \parbox (of similar width) as well.
You might be interested in tabularx as it allows for a flexibly-width X -column:
If you wish to adjust the padding further, consider reading up on Column and row padding in tables .
