there is a manual on the website ... physml

the old module:

\usemodule[physml]

the new one (newmml):

\usemodule[newmmu]

as in:

\usemodule[newmmu]

\starttext

Quick and dirty in||line units:

\startbuffer
<phys>
  <cn> 10 </cn>
  <cu> <Newton/> <Square/> <Meter/> <Per/> <Sec/> </cu>
</phys>
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer \processXMLbuffer

A more \MATHML||like unit application:

\startbuffer
<phys> <apply> <unit/>
  <cn> 10 </cn>
  <csymbol> <Square/> <Meter/> <Per/> <Sec/> </csymbol>
</apply> </phys>
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer \processXMLbuffer

A bit more compact:

\startbuffer
<phys> <apply> <unit/>
  <cn> 10 </cn>
  <cu> <Square/> <Meter/> <Per/> <Sec/> </cu>
</apply> </phys>
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer \processXMLbuffer

A bit more complicated:

\startbuffer
<phys> <apply> <unit/>
  <apply> <divide/> <ci> a </ci> <cn> 10 </cn> </apply>
  <cu> <Square/> <Meter/> <Per/> <Sec/> </cu>
</apply> </phys>
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer \processXMLbuffer

An alternative (equivalent) for \type {</cu>}:

\startbuffer
<phys> <apply> <unit/>
  <cn> 10 </cn> <cunseq> <Square/> <Meter/> <Per/> <Sec/> </cunseq>
</apply> </phys>
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer \processXMLbuffer

\stoptext
