Thanks for taking the trouble for what was really simple, but seems
undocumented (?)

Some other units:
=A0mm =A0Millimetres
=A0cm =A0Centimetres
=A0in =A0Inches
=A0em =A0em width, depends on the font
=A0ex =A0ex height, depends on the font
=A0pc =A0Picas (1pc =3D 12pt)
=A0pt =A0Points (1in =3D 72.27pt)


There=92s also bp (big points). We have the difference between TeX points (= pt) and PostScript points (bp) in ConTeXt like in every other TeX:
1 pt =3D 1/72,27 in =3D 0,3515 mm (traditional American printer=92s point)<= br> 1 bp =3D 1/72 in =3D 0,3528 mm (after the Anglo-Saxon compromise inch of 19= 59 =3D 25.4 mm)
(1 "Didot" point, traditionally used in Europe, was 0,376 mm)
