BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Reference list and two word surnames

[WalidSaladin]

How do you make BiBTeX take the "le" in "le Roux" and "de" in "de Villiers" into account?

BiBTeX transforms the following citation (Example 1):

Le Roux, J. D. and Glasser, E. (2008) 'Working with the imagination' The Imaginary Journal 53, 1680-1693.

into (Example 2):

Roux, J. D. L. and Glasser, E. . . .

So, how do you have BiBTeX represent the citation as Example 1 instead of Example 2?

BibTeX doesn't actually read, so it needs some help to know what constitutes "one" name:

Code: Select all

@article{LeRoux2008,
   author  = "{Le Roux}, J. D. and Glasser, E.",
   year    = 2008,
   title   = "Working with the Imagination",
   journal = "The Imaginary Journal",
   volume  =  53,
   pages   = "1680--1693"
}

Note the use of the en dash in the date (the "standard" styles should figure that out, but the non-standard ones generally will not) and the use of braces around the compound name. There are options in some styles to sort on "Le" vs. "Roux" for this name, too.
