Removing content which IMO showed the wrong way to do things
The units module comes with ConTeXt's default distribution, and can be accessed via <cmd>usemodule</cmd>[units].
However, in MkIV we have integrated an upgrade to this mechanism so if you're using that version you might want to skip this first part. Additional documentation about units in MkIV is available from the [[http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/units-mkiv.pdf Units manual]]
The following is copied from the source file [[source:m-units.tex|m-units.tex]] and only slightly modified:
* Informatics: <cmd>Baud</cmd>, <cmd>Bit</cmd>, <cmd>Byte</cmd>
* some old dutch (not listed)
===Define a new unit===
<context source="yes">
\usemodule[units]
\unit[Mynewunit]{Nu}{New Unit}
10 \Mynewunit
</context>
===Using the built-in command===
In due time there will be a few more options. Numbers are formatted cf the digits mechanism (not discussed here).
