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. Wolfgang
