This module seems very similar to the quote module at http://drupal.org/project/quote . The main difference being that when you click on quote, it copies the node info. as a quote into comments, but not into a new content node. Is there some way to combine these to do be "quote in comment" or "quote as new node," or "blog this?"

Almost forgot, can this module specify what type of node is created? I'd like a "blog this" feature similar to that found with aggregated content and somewhat like the quote module mentioned above.

Feature request: choose part of a node through highlighting to edit/quote.

I just read over the quote module's source code, and it appears to be just for copying content from the node's body into a new comment. The purpose of the editasnew module is to make an exact copy of the original node (not comment) and allow the user to edit it before saving it as a new node. All you need for this to work is permission to create a new node of the type being copied as well as permission to view the node being copied from.

I should make the text on the tab ("edit as new") configurable in the admin settings so that you can name the tab whatever you want. If all you allowed to be copied on your site were blog nodes, then a tab named "blog this" would make sense.
