Duncan,

this might solve the issue in Latex (I haven't tried yet), but in R
(version 2.9.2) the manual page looks like
...
        is like the following:

                \latex{\sharp}{#} vertex1name
                vertex2name [optionalWeight]
                vertex3name [optionalWeight]

        Here, the first vertex of an edge is preceded with a pound sign
...

which is obviously not what I want.
