There are two modes in which to use gummibaum, depending on what you plan to do: Create a LaTeX template file that can be compiled without any processing but that can be used as a template in which variables are replaced by constant values. Also has an easy mode to integrate csv data and create a single tex file / multiple tex files where a block is repeated with values from the csv file. This mode is called expand mode. Or you can use a template system in which you write a tex file that contains directives such as loops and thus creates a tex file as output. This mode is called template mode. The first approach is easy to use and has to advantage that you write plain LaTeX with some placeholders. But it's not very powerful. The second approach is more powerful, but you don't write plain LaTeX but a templated version of a tex file. See here:

   2. Expanding with csv data source
   3. Expanding with a config file
