When a proper name containing a particle begins a sentence, you can capitalize the particle. You can also capitalize it when it’s part of a title, as in The Da Vinci Code.

I believe that you should always capitalize at the beginning of a sentence, even when the person’s name, like da Vinci, does not begin with a capital letter.

When writing about Leonardo da Vinci and you want to start the sentence with da Vinci, do you capatalize the d in da? Also, if it’s in a presentation used in headings, what do you do?

Thanks for this — the rules of usage around numbers in parentheses has always flummoxed me.
