RE: In situ vs. in-situ?

From:Gary Gill

in situ, which may be italicized to indicate it's Latin (i.e., not English),
meaning in place.  No capital I unless the first word in a sentence and not
hyphenated.

Several alternative pronunciations are possible
(http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/i/i0164000.html):

in si·tu
adv. & adj. 
In the original position.

[Latin in sit : in, in + sit, ablative of situs, place.]

I know this is trivial, but what is the proper way to write these two
words?
