So I've been trying to put the United States Code (offered here from the U.S. House of Representatives) so that I can hopefully get it to a point where I can put it into an ebook format (either ePub or for Kindle). The page also provides for the schema, but no matter what I do, it always seems to have issues opening up the document. Any ideas on getting this to be accessible in a format that preserves the hierarchy?
The error I get is:
The XML file usc26.xml cannot be opened because there is no available data view (XSLT).
It also gives me a line (3) and column (308) for the location of the problem.

What program(s) are you opening the XML with? – music2myear – 2018-02-08T20:10:31.433
I've tried using a couple, such as Word, TextWrangler, & Atom. I don't know if it's the size of the document (I'm trying to download Title 26... the Internal Revenue Code). At this point, I thought opening it in Word might be the best way to convert the document to an ePub (because of all the tables and hierarchies), but I get a "The XML file usc26.xml cannot be opened because there is no available data view (XSLT), & then it gives me a line (3) and column (308) for the location of the problem. So I'm wondering if there is an issue with the css file reference. (Terribly sorry for noobishness.) – JuBe – 2018-02-08T20:45:01.893
1Please put that error text directly into your question. – I say Reinstate Monica – 2018-02-08T21:20:17.823
I was able to open usc26.xml just fine in a Text Editor. It's about 50MB uncompressed, which shouldn't tax most computers at all. Have you tried Notepad? Have you tried downloading a new copy? Also, you do know what XML is, right? It's a markup language and only if you have an accompanying stylesheet will it be friendly to human eyes. XML is about getting information in a consistent manner between different programs. – music2myear – 2018-02-08T21:44:22.507
So at this point, would I be better off just teaching myself the syntax of stylesheets (which is CSS, correct)? Because for some reason, it seems like that is where the hick-up in all of this is occurring. – JuBe – 2018-02-11T22:02:31.237
Or I guess, the problem is with the file actually finding the style sheet. So I should be able to direct it to a local file up in the header, correct? – JuBe – 2018-02-11T22:09:16.757
