[R] preformatted and '#' in manual pages

[Gábor Csárdi]

Uwe, thanks, but this does not help, I still get:

LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
LaTeX errors found:
! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in vertical mode.
<argument> ...ike the following: \begin {alltt} ##
                                                   vertex1name vertex2name [...
l.9051 listed one per line on subsequent lines.}

* checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR

In fact, I added the '\' after the package check failed, but it made
no visible difference.

Best,
Gabor
