javascript - How to prevent phone numbers to be converted into Skype links?

Question

On those Windows machines with Skype installed, it tends to convert all phone-formatted numbers to Skype links so you can click it in order to make a call on Skype.

The question is how do you prevent that to happen for a certain number on page?

Answer 1

Try not outputting the numbers as a single piece of text. Instead of

<span>888-555-1212</span>

try

<span>888-</span><span>555-1212</span>

and it will disable skype
