Phone number links in contacts / text? #101

Description

Use Case

As a user, I want to be able to click on a phone number from my mobile browser and have my phone call the number.

At the moment, phone numbers are rendered in plain text. Depending on the browser, they may be clickable.

Additionally, the user may not know that they need to add an international dialling code (+44 for UK numbers).

Suggestions

  • Repurpose the email syntax, so <020 7946 0123> is automatically converted to <a href="tel:+442079460123>020 7946 0123</a>
  • Validate the regular Markdown of [020 7946 0123](tel:+442079460123)
  • Use a magic token like $P to indicate a Phone Number.

Additional

Perhaps add some metadata / microformat to help with indexing / search?
