How do I use HTML and JS together?
* Note that I don't mean connecting JS to HTML using <script>! I've already finished HTML and CSS courses and now I'm doing JS course. Everything's fine, but there's one thing I don't understand. How do I use the information created/changed with JS inside HTML? Let's say I used JS to create a basic object person which has a basic property name with value "John". How do I now provide person.name to the exact paragraph of HTML? The only thing I know now that kinda do the thing is document.write(), but it's not really versatile. P.S. Tried to google, but it didn't actually help.

you can't do it in the HTML code! You need to use the document.getElementById(var) function of JS to write into the tag! here's a link to a stack overflow post explaining that:

Never use document.write.
document.write writes your whole file with javascript. Create an span tag give it some id . Do document.getElementById("your span id") ;
And use innerHTML or innerText
