Having conditional logic in the EF itself is my plan A, and I know it's possible with vanilla QB since I already have some working. But my main concern is the fact that quotation marks just don't get processed correctly regardless of anything, so it'd be nice to know how to fix this so that plain text documents with quotation marks display correctly.
