        .
        - sphinx_prime_applets
        .
        .
        .

Applet directive#

```{applet}
:url: lines_and_planes/normal_equation_plane_origin
:fig: Images/image_shown_in_print_version.svg
:name: name_that_is_used_to_refer_to_this_figure
:class: dark-light
:title: This title is shown when you full-screen the applet

A plane through the point $P$.
```

Note

The url parameter should be the part of the URL after /applet/. So if the full URL is https://openla.ewi.tudelft.nl/applet/lines_and_planes/normal_equation_plane_origin, you should set the parameter to lines_and_planes/normal_equation_plane_origin.
