Maybe noteworthy, <pre> tags can still have other tags in them. E.g.

<pre><span class="odd">xxx</span>
<span class="even">xxx</span></pre>

or even:

<pre><ol><li class="odd">xxx</li>
<li class="even">yyy</li>
</ol></pre>

You could perhaps use this in combination with CSS generated content [1] 
(I don’t know how good browser support for that is nowadays, I reckon 
it’s probably pretty decent with Microsoft having stepped up their game) 
to generate the line numbers... Or JavaScript, if there’s no other way.
