Show a human-readable rendering of cron expressions.

See Quartz.CronExpression

Looks good! IIRC there's something like this already embedded in Quartz in the CronExpression class. If you're interested, would you take a look? Cheers

In Quartz there is a way that helps you get the actual Cron Expression string but not into human readable text that I'm aware of.

CronScheduleBuilder csb = CronScheduleBuilder
.WeeklyOnDayAndHourAndMinute(DayOfWeek.Monday, 12, 0);

ICronTrigger trigger = (ICronTrigger)TriggerBuilder
.Create()
.WithSchedule(csb)
.Build();

string cronExpression = trigger.CronExpressionString;

CronExpression.GetExpressionSummary() does this, but it's nowhere near as pretty as the library you mention. We should merge that library, including of course its license text and a link to its home page.

Yeah, would make this tool a lot more powerful

Looking forward to your pull request ;-)
