    Hello Tobias,
    Are you considering doing an extension similar to Automatic URL conversion that will convert phone numbers and make them clickable when viewing your tables on a smart phone. I would like to avoid doing it manually.

    Automatic URL conversion works great!
    Thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint you here. I’m not aware of an existing solution for this, and I don’t have plans to create an Extension for this.
    The main problem here is that there are many phone number formats internationally, so that it would be very complex to get this right. Also, Safari on iOS already does that automatically, from what I know.

    Therefore, I suggest to simply create these links manually, which should not be too much work unless you really have a lot of phone numbers.
    The HTML code for such a link should look like

    <a href="tel:+15551235467">1 (555) 123-4567</a>

    Regards,
    Tobias
