Seems unlikely you can format specific things in a json file without coding atleast something xd

i have a code somewhere that pulls out texts out of the view.jsons, im sure it can be altered to pull out scripts too which you then should be able to format i suppose. Tho it doesnt give file location with it, so you will have to alter the code a bit for that
