}

Instructions.Text, Description.Text, Header.Text, Footer.Text: These RichText properties can be displayed, or hidden, upon presentation of the quiz to those taking it (based on the value of their associated IsDisplayed property).
AttemptsAllowed: If the IsUnlimited property is True, then the NumberOfAttemptsAllowed property will be null; if IsUnlimited is False, then NumberOfAttemptsAllowed will contain the number of attempts allowed (default value is 1).
