At the meeting I noted a few units that I didn’t know about, while I
already knew many.
* general units: in, m, cm, mm (ft?)
* typographical units: pt, dd, bp, pc, cc, sp
* font related: em, ex, fs, fa, fd, fc, ch
* layout related: pw, ph, tw, th, cw, cd, lw, hs, vh
* frame related: fw, fh, fo
* funits: dk, es, tv, eu
Are there even more?
Yes, there are more of them.
Look into the lowlevel-registers document which describes how they are
created and also how you can define your own identifiers with \newuserunit.
Questions:
How differs "1" from "2"?
* em fs
\startbuffer[dimensions]
\starttabulate
\NC em \EQ \the\dimexpr1em\relax \NC\NR % \emwidth
\NC fs \EQ \the\dimexpr1fs\relax \NC\NR % \globalbodyfontsize
\stoptabulate
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\getbuffer[dimensions]
\setupbodyfont[14.4pt]
\getbuffer[dimensions]
\stoptext
* lw hs
lw stands for \linewidth which is the default value for rulethickness in
\framed etc.
hs is just \hsize.
* ph vh
ph is \paperheight.
vh doesn't exist.
