Static Library using templates

Had some problems getting my static libraries working (actually the compiler was just telling me that it can't find certain functions). I played around with it, created some test libraries and projects that used them - everything was fine, so I just couldn't figure out why one of the static libraries wasn't working. Then I realized that it was because I had a few functions which were templated, and as far as I know, during the compile time the compiler simply creates copies of that function for use with all types that I call it with.

Anyway, is there a way to have a static library which contains templated functions/classes and be able to use them normally in other projects?
