Works fine for JSON, XML, JavaScript, HTML or any other text.

See also XML.Format & JSON.Format to format and XML.Colorize & JSON.Colorize for colors.

Format, colorize and apply line numbers:

MBS( "Text.AddLineNumbers";
    // colorize it
    MBS("JSON.Colorize";
            // format before colorize
        MBS( "JSON.Format"; JSON Input)
    );
    // define which style to use for numbers
    TextColor (
        TextFont ( " "; "Courier" );
        RGB ( 0 ; 0 ; 255 )
    )
)

Add <> around numbers:

MBS( "Text.AddLineNumbers"; "Hello¶World¶Test"; ""; "> "; "<" )
