Example:
* Micro topic 1
** Microbes are small
** You can't see them!
*** Isn't that something?
* Micro topic 2
** I hope I like the teacher
*** She will be great!
** Micro is cool!
I'd like to convert them into a .csv file like so:
"* Micro topic 1"," "** Microbes are small", "** You can't see them!", "***
Isn't that something?",
"* Micro topic 2", "** I hope I like the teacher", "*** She will be great!",
"** Micro is cool!"
Where the first column contains only top level headings (lines beginning with
one star), and the following columns are subheadings belonging to the top
level heading. So for each top level heading, there is one row containing
the top level heading and its children. I've been messing around with a
solution in python with regular expressions as well as macros but haven't
gotten very far. Any suggestions?

* Something like this might do it:
tr "\n" "\",\"" < file > newfile
sed -e "s/\",\"* /\n\",\"*/g" newfile > blah.csv
