To change the text in an HTML element using p5.js, you can use the createP() function to create a new <p> element, and then use the html() function to set the content of the element to the desired text. Here's an example:

 1

12
let myParagraph;

function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400);
  
  myParagraph = createP("This is some initial text.");
}

function draw() {
  // Change the text inside the paragraph element
  myParagraph.html("This is some new text.");
}


In this example, we first create a <p> element with the text "This is some initial text." using the createP() function. Then, in the draw() function, we change the text inside the paragraph element to "This is some new text." using the html() function. This will update the text displayed on the webpage.
