In C++ a class can inherit from a template parameter identifier. I don't think UML is able to model that. I currently use a note. Has anyone got any opinions on this? This is a general UML question and not specific to StarUML.

Can you give us an actual, representative C++ code example so we know exactly what you mean?

template <typename A>

class B : public A {

};

A is a template parameter of B and also inherited from by B.
