Jsonify encodes a given object to JSON.
To customize the printing of the JSON, pass a dictionary of options as the first
argument. Supported options are "prefix" and "indent". Each JSON element in
the output will begin on a new line beginning with *prefix* followed by one or
more copies of *indent* according to the indentation nesting.
```
{{ dict "title" .Title "content" .Plain | jsonify }}
{{ dict "title" .Title "content" .Plain | jsonify (dict "indent" " ") }}
{{ dict "title" .Title "content" .Plain | jsonify (dict "prefix" " " "indent" " ") }}
```
