Pasting doesn't format, normally. As for highlighting...: - If the structure is all on a single line, then the problem is likely just the usual (set of) "long lines" problem. - If it's spread over many lines, then only a handful of lines (those that are visible) should be highlighted, so that shouldn't be it. IOW, please M-x report-emacs-bug so we can try and figure out what went wrong, Stefan
