I am using a macro to represent a certain term, e.g:

\newcommand{\agt}{the agent}

(I use this macro so that it is easier to change the term in the future, if needed).

Is it possible to change the macro so that, in the beginning of a sentence, it will print "The agent" with capital T?

    The linked question proposes a workaround which covers some of the cases but will also have exceptions where it doesn't work (e.g. beginning of a paragraph). The problem you are describing (detect the beginning of a sentence) is, from a computer science perspective, a really hard one! So it is not surprising to me that the solution is hackish and incomplete. Mandatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1425/ – Henri Menke Nov 12 '17 at 06:53
