7 digits number starting with 1, disable automatic link on iPad (phone number)

Description of problem:

I have a table with large amount and a rendering in europeans style in my columns.defs :
DataTable.render.number(' ', null, 0, null, ' €')

But when I see the datatable on iPad, the 7 number digits starting by 1 are considered like a phone number.

Is it another option in rendering I can add to just see the amount without a link to a phone number ?

A test case : https://live.datatables.net/mequvope/1/edit

And what I see on iPad

Thank you

Seems like its something specific to Safari. Checkout this Stack Overflow thread. I added <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"> and it seems to work as expected with Safari.

I can't do that, the users need it for the real phone numbers.
I will change the data in the HTML, put back the « french spaces » and change the rendering.
Thanks

This technote shows how to selectively detect phone numbers if you disable it globally on the page with the above.

I know, I will ask the users what they want because they can add texts width phone numbers in it. Automatic links or not will be their choice.
Thanks again for your time.

PS : how can I close the topic ?

You don't - they automatically close after a period of time.

Threads started as a "Question" can be marked as answered or not, but this one was started as a "Discussion" and doesn't have that option.
