BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Troubles with natdin style

[naclador]

Hello out there!

I am writing down my PhD thesis and I have trouble using BibTex and the Natdin style (hope someone here is familiar with that).

The problem I face is that the dutch noble "van" before the last name, like in Jean Claude van Damme, is correctly set in names with only one first name, but is left out in names with more than one first name. I give you a minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[square,super,sort&compress]{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{natdin}


\begin{document}

This is some senseless text I have stolen from someone else, so I will cite him and all will be fine.\cite{Hell1865} And here is another stupid sentence without any real meaning, a citation from some other author.\cite{Als2001}


\bibliography{minimalPubs}

\end{document}

And bib file (to be saved as minimalPubs.bib):

Code: Select all

@ARTICLE{Als2001,
  author = {van Als, J. P.},
  title = {Cheese},
  journal = {Illustrated Journal of Milk Products},
  year = {2001},
  volume = {5},
  pages = {123},
  owner = {Florian},
  timestamp = {2010.07.27}
}

@ARTICLE{Hell1865,
  author = {van Hellsing, G.},
  title = {A guideline for vampire hunters},
  journal = {Journal of the Holy Inquisition},
  year = {1865},
  volume = {5},
  pages = {4581},
  owner = {Florian},
  timestamp = {2010.07.27}
}

It works for me when grouping the multiple surnames.

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@ARTICLE{Als2001,
  author = {{J. P.} van Als},
  title = {Cheese},
  journal = {Illustrated Journal of Milk Products},
  year = {2001},
  volume = {5},
  pages = {123},
  owner = {Florian},
  timestamp = {2010.07.27}
}

@ARTICLE{Hell1865,
  author = {G. van Hellsing},
  title = {A guideline for vampire hunters},
  journal = {Journal of the Holy Inquisition},
  year = {1865},
  volume = {5},
  pages = {4581},
  owner = {Florian},
  timestamp = {2010.07.27}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[square,super,sort&compress]{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{natdin}

\begin{document}

  \bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}

As soon as the problem is solved, please act according to Section 3 of the Board Rules (last two paragraphs).

Hello Thorsten,

this works perfectly, thanks a lot. Does even work from within JabRef without any trouble.

Thanks for your welcome!

Ah, yes,

a little different from other forums I used in the past.

Thanks again,
