title: How do I make text appear using JavaScript?
body: <p>I created a code through Codecademy. Whenever I wanted text to appear, I was told to use <code>console.log</code> However, when I actually run the code, using HTML (as a js file would not run), the text does not appear, as the console is not displayed.
  The code was for one of those classic choose-your-adventure text-based games. After answering a prompt, text with the story line is supposed to appear as another prompt appears. The prompts run through, but the story line is not displayed. What could I change <code>console.log</code> to in order to make the text appear?</p>
  
  <p>~EDIT~ Thank you, Vince.
  I suppose some of you  did not exactly understand what I was asking.
  I shared my reason for my ignorance. I learned JavaScript through Codecademy. They did not teach you how to make text appear. All they said was you could use <code>console.log</code> to make text appear. It makes text appear in the console, but I wanted it to appear outside of the console.
  I went back to my script and changed every <code>console.log</code> to <code>document.writeln</code>. My code now works.
  And to whoever suggested that I would be afraid of JavaScript: I wrote a lengthy and complex code for a beginner. I did not post it on here as it is my intellectual property and I did not need to post it to ask my question. I had a misconception and I wanted to clear it up.</p>
