Pascal | 42 comments Dear all,

I tried to add an author to a book, namely "Hans van den Berg", but the format automatically changes his name into "Hans Van Den Berg".

Since in Dutch, not all first letters of a family name start with a capital, this is very inconvenient. Is there a way this could be fixed?

Kind regards, Pascal

I found the author and corrected the capitalization.
