Hi Nate,

What do you mean by passing "the right argument".  Which argument do you
want to pass?

At first, I thought the direct way to fix your function would be

(defun njn-subheading-respect-content ()
  (interactive "")
  (org-next-visible-heading 1)
  (org-insert-heading nil)
 )

because in your original example, the heading did already have a child.
However, that is not guaranteed, and in the above implementation, the
new heading is created with the level of the next headline, and that
next headline might be a sibling, a child or a parent.  So we need to
explicitly set the level:

(defun njn-subheading-respect-content ()
  (interactive "")
  (let ((level (car (org-heading-components))))
    (org-next-visible-heading 1)
    (org-insert-heading nil)
    (while (<= (car (org-heading-components)) level)
      (org-demote))))

I am using (possibly repeated) calls to `org-demote', because this will
do everything correct, also with stuff like org-odd-levels only etc.

Hope this helps.

- Carsten
