Hello,

According to the org-mode manual:

In the headline of the = entry itself, a time(range) may also appear as plain text (like = =E2=80=9812:45=E2=80=99 or a =E2=80=988:30-1pm=E2=80=99).

Is it possible to "escape" this = text so that strings like that are
*not* interpreted as = times or time ranges? Failing that, is it
possible to = disable the interpretation of plain text as time ranges?
I = have entries that have "time-like" strings, (ie. things like 7:16)
that should not be interpreted as a timestamp. However, when = I display
such entries in org-agenda, these entries are = displayed with a time
prefix, which results in the text = appearing garbled.

It might be = possible with a zero width space near the colons.
