C++ Class Diagram - Show virtual function with italics (#1532)

(Suggestions)

Currently, c++ virtual functions in class diagrams don't have any visual indicator differentiating them from other functions. Normally, UML indicates virtual functions via italics. I would highly recommend showing virtual functions in class diagrams with italics as well.

Thanks.

Some UML tools may display virtual operations as italic.

However, according UML specifition, an operation marked as abstract (pure virtual) has to be formatted as italic, format for virtual operations is not specified.

It will be added as a setting to one of next versions - you will be able to choose whether you want to format virtual operations as italic or only abstract operations.
