This template documents the line of inheritance, or genealogy, of a class/interface. It is currently experimental because the W3C DOM employs a multiple-inheritance model and JavaScript can emulate such a model. This template's current implementation can only handle one direct ancestor for each type.

To use this template to document that ClassA inherits from ClassB, do this:

1. put {{:ClassB/~}}{{~}}[[ClassA]] as the only contents of ClassA/~
2. Place {{genealogy}} where you want the line to appear in ClassA (typically the article's top)
3. make sure ClassB/~ exists, if it does not, continue at step 1. ;-)

A class that inherits from no other class should simply have a link to itself on its ~ subpage (see Object/~ for an example).
