Which words stay lowercase

Articles, short prepositions and conjunctions: a, an, the, of, in, and, or. The first and last words are always capitalised regardless of what they are.

Applying it consistently

Doing this by hand across a list guarantees inconsistency, because the rule about which words stay lowercase is exactly the kind of thing people apply differently on a Friday afternoon.

Style guides disagree

Different guides draw the line at different preposition lengths. Pick one convention and apply it to everything rather than mixing conventions within a publication.
