latin - Title-Casing "ad hoc"


Let's say there's an article or a book titled solutions for ad hoc problems in foobar. How is ad hoc title-cased? As a preposition ad with a pronoun hoc or as an adjective? I mean, which of these four is correct?



  1. Solutions for Ad Hoc Problems in Foobar

  2. Solutions for Ad hoc Problems in Foobar

  3. Solutions for ad Hoc Problems in Foobar

  4. Solutions for ad hoc Problems in Foobar


I see that English dictionaries tend to list is as adjective/adverb which suggests Ad Hoc. But also, if treated as an adjective, it shall have a hyphen, which is clearly wrong.


(Note that I just copy-edit other people's work so I can't remove the phrase from the title, which could be an option...)
