Hi,
I am building my wedding page with org mode. Yay!.
I tried to add telephone links so people can click on the link and it
will do something useful.
I used this markup [[tel:(+40)55-555-555][(+40)55-555-555]] to produce
something like <a href="tel:(+40)55-555-555">(+40)55-555-555</a> .
However It failed because the tel: is not recognized link.
I believe the default behavior of failing to export when encountering an
unknown link type is not ok.
IMO org-mode export should allow export for unknown links.
Support for tel: links might be added to org-mode by default since it is
simple to add and quite useful, at least in HTML export .
See https://css-tricks.com/the-current-state-of-telephone-links/ .
It seems it might work in PDF exports as well

.
Regardless, having the export fail is a bug IMO.
To build my website I followed a slightly updated version of
https://systemcrafters.net/publishing-websites-with-org-mode/building-the-site/
.
I made it work with some customization but I do believe the default
(require 'ox-publish)
(require 'ol)
(org-link-set-parameters "tel"
:export #'org-tel-export)
(defun org-tel-export (link description format _)
"Export a tel link from Org files."
(let ((path link)
(desc (or description link)))
(pcase format
(`html (format "<a class=\"org-tel-href\" href=\"tel:%s\">%s</a>"
path desc))
(`latex (format "\\href{%s}{%s}" path desc))
(`texinfo (format "@uref{%s,%s}" path desc))
(`ascii (format "%s (%s)" desc path))
(t path))))
(setq org-publish-project-alist
`(("nunta-org-site"
:recursive t
...... )
(org-publish-all t)
