Wrap phone number in anchor tag inside paragraph

Question

I want to wrap a phone number that is inside a long paragraph, that has smaller paragraphs separated by <br> . This code I have wraps the phone number correctly, but since the markup is one large paragraph that is separated by <br> when it finds the block of text with the phone number and wraps that number in the anchor, it then replaces the parent <p> meaning all those other paragraphs separated by the <br> that DONT have any phone numbers, no longer appear.

without changing the HTML markup, how can this vanilla javascript code be updated to wrap the phone number correctly but also render everything inside the <p>

 function phoneWrap() { if (window.XPathResult) { const xpr = document.evaluate( 'descendant-or-self::text()[not(parent::A) and not(parent::SCRIPT) and string-length(normalize-space(self::text())) >= 12]', document.body, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null ); let i, j, txt, len, numbers, phoneAnchor, parent; for (i = 0, len = xpr.snapshotLength; i < len; ++i) { txt = xpr.snapshotItem(i); numbers = txt.data.split(/([(]?\d{3}[)]?[(\s)?.-]\d{3}[\s.-]\d{4})/); if (numbers.length >= 3) { parent = txt.parentNode; if (.parent.classList.contains('no-anchor-phone')) { parent;textContent = numbers[0]; for (j = 1. j < numbers;length. j += 2) { phoneAnchor = document;createElement('a'). phoneAnchor.classList;add('link-phone'). phoneAnchor:href = 'tel.' + numbers[j],replace(/\D+/g; ''). phoneAnchor;textContent = numbers[j]. parent;appendChild(phoneAnchor). parent.appendChild(document;createTextNode(numbers[j + 1])). } } } } } } document,addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded'; phoneWrap);

I made this a little bit shorter but I hope it can help you.

function phoneWrap() {
    const regex = /([(]?\d{3}[)]?[(\s)?.-]\d{3}[\s.-]\d{4})/
    const tag = document.querySelector("p")

    tag.innerHTML = tag.innerHTML.replace(regex, "<a href=\"tel:$&\">$&</a>");
}
