I saw this in (the btw great) bachotex-stepbystep presentation \definepapersize [example] [width=8.5es, height=11es] \setuptextbackground [location=paragraph, backgroundcolor=MyColors:4, backgroundoffset=1dk, frame=off] The units "es" and "dk" are unknown to me. What does they mean? TIA juh

Regarding the dk unit: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-3/tb132hagen-dk.pdf A quote from the Luametatex source regarding the es unit: The Edith and Tove were introduced at BachoTeX 2023 and because the error message was still in feet we decided to adapt it accordingly so now in addition it reports different values, including Theodores little feet measured by Arthur as being roughly five Ediths. Here is the fitting error message when you pass a dimension too large for TeX: Dimension too large", I can't work with sizes bigger than about 19 feet (45 Theodores as of 2023), 575 centimeters, Toves, 230 Ediths or 16383 points. Continue and I'll use the largest value I can. You should also take a look at the lowlevel register manual (lowlevel-registers.pdf) which explains how you can define your own units. Wolfgang

Regarding the dk unit: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-3/tb132hagen-dk.pdf The es, ts and eu are discussed here:
https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb44-2/tb137egger-edith.pdf it also discusses how the team callibrated these units by sampling texies.

In German, I call these "Spaßeinheiten" (units of measurement = "Maßeinheiten"; Spaß = fun; "units of leisurement" might be a good translation). Hraban

Apart from being fun they are also useful, for instance the "ts" (and dk) make good framed offsets when making examples. Of the "serious" unit is only use pt, mm and cm (and bp in the backend).
