In Typst, `+` auto-numbered list items restart at 1 when a non-list block (a #hrule, a paragraph, a figure) sits between them. To continue numbering across interruptions, write explicit numbers (`2.`, `3.`). `+` is fine only for consecutive items. Also, for a small grid figure such as a number maze, `table(columns: (2em,) * 5, rows: 2em, align: center + horizon, fill: (x, y) => ...)` inside `#figure(..., caption: ...)` reproduces a handout grid cleanly. Note that a table inside a figure gets a 'Table N:' caption prefix.
