In computing, FOSI is a style sheet language for SGML and, later, XML. It stands for Formatted Output Specification Instance. FOSI was developed by the US Department of Defense to control the pagination and layout of SGML and XML technical data. FOSI stylesheets are themselves written in SGML, an approach that would later be adopted by XSL. FOSI was implemented by, among others, Arbortext and X.Systems.


Fosi is also the handle of one of the internets oldest "crackers". He has been providing this service free of charge via his website (links below)since 1997.
