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

It may have done that because there was already an improperly capitalized version of that name in the database, and it tends to merge names that are very close.
I found the author and corrected the capitalization.
