Issues bibliography dutch prefixes "van" and "van der"

Post by joachimf »

As a newby with LaTeX, I wrote my own thesis using a template in English: everything worked great.
Now I came up with the great idea to help my girlfriend as well with her thesis, but it has to be in Dutch.
As a starting point I used the classicthesis.sty
Using the babel package solved a lot of issues, but not the bibliography.
I found a bst file: bibliodutch.bst
I changed the order:

"{ll~}{ff~}{ vv}{, jj}"

With some extra reading, I managed to get the following result:
bibliography.bib
Example input
(710 Bytes) Downloaded 267 times
Example output
Example output
example output.png (16.68 KiB) Viewed 3805 times
Which makes me confused, that the prefixes with two (van der; van 't etc) work as whished, but the single prefix get messed up.

Does anyone have an idea? Requested is: Lastname A. A. van
bibliodutch.bst

Using modern methods like biblatex i don't see the issue. Maybe it is due to the command in the data base that i don't have? Hence, making a minimal working example is always a good idea.

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{Dam2012,
	author = {van der Dam, S. and Abma, T. A. A. and Kardol, M. J. M. and Widdershoven, G. A. M.},
	title = {Here's my dilemma. Moral case deliberation as a platform for discussing everyday ethics in elderly care},
	year = {2012},
	volume = {20},
%	number = { },
	pages = {250-267},
	journal = {Health Care Anal},
}

@incollection{Delden1999,
	booktitle = {Morele problemen in de ouderenzorg.},
	editor = {van Delden, J. J. M. },
	year = {1999},
	publisher = { Van Gorcum \& Comp B.V., Assen},
	author = {van Delden, H. and Hertogh, C. and Manschot, H.},
	title = {Ouder worden: drie ethische perspectieven},
	chapter = {3},
	pages = {49-81},
	number = { ISBN: 9023234499},
}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,maxbibnames=99]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
