Eveyr year at this time, I struggle with the structure of my course
syllabi, and move bits an pieces around with wild abandon.  At the end of
my struggles, my course outline will be filled with headings like this:
------------------------
** <2015-10-06 Tue> Spatial History
Thinking about the visual presentation of information, especially in map
form
*** Readings
+ Franco Moretti, /Graphs, Maps, Trees/, ch. 1 ([[
http://2012.hackinghistory.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/placing-history.pdf][Graphs]]
).
+ Knowles, A. K. “GIS and History.” [[
http://2012.hackinghistory.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/pariser-filter-bubble.pdf][/Placing
History: How Maps, Spatial Data, and GIS Are Changing Historical
Scholarship/]] (2008): 1–13.
+ Bondenhamer, David J. “History and GIS: Implications for the Discipline.”
/Placing History: How Maps, Spatial Data, and GIS Are Changing Historical
Scholarship/ (2008): 219-234.
+ Theibault, John. “[[
http://writinghistory.trincoll.edu/evidence/theibault-2012-spring/][Visualizations
and Historical Arguments]].” Writing History in the Digital Age, March 23,
2012.
*** Lab: Google Maps and Javascript
--------------------------

Unfortunately, the Seminar topics, labs, and readings do not always match
up very well. It occurs to me that it would be preferable to maintain
separate trees of seminar topics and labs, and merge them, so eg:

* Topics
** Introduction
** Crowds and Publics
** Spatial History

* Labs
** Intro to HTML
** Styling with CSS
** The Google Maps Javascript API

The two subtrees can be manipulated independently, then merged to create
something like:

* Schedule
** <2015-09-15>
*** Seminar: Introduction
*** Lab: Intro to HTML

(each subheading will also include content, e.g., a description of the
class, some lab instructions, etc.).

Is there an easy way to do this already? Or is the best thing to do to
write a piece of elisp that generates the appropriate structure using
org-element, and put that code in a babel block? And if the latter, does
anyone, um, want to write the code for me?

Many thanks for your help,
Matt
