TNG Disable Phone Number Links

If you use social security or similar numbers with dashes in an event, IOS (Apple) mobile devices (iPhones and iPads) convert those numbers to phone links. While this is not a problem it can be annoying.

The picture below shows the SS number as a link on an iPhone.

If you click the link, it tries to call the SS number.

Installing the mod prevents the number displaying as a link.

While this mod prevents IOS mobile devices from converting numbers to phone links, individual phone numbers can be displayed on any browser as a link using href as shown here: <a href="tel:123-456-7890">(123) 456-7890</a>

Note: The mod and href code was tested with an iPhone 11, 14 Max Pro and iPad Pro.
