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.

Answer 1

All you need to do is insure your CSS selector is more specific than the selector Skype uses. In the current skype style sheet they use:

span.skype_pnh_container span.skype_pnh_highlighting_inactive_common span.skype_pnh_text_span {...}

You will need to add an extra class — your own website context — to this selector, i.e.

.myclass span.skype_pnh_container span.skype_pnh_highlighting_inactive_common span.skype_pnh_text_span {...}
