Putting generated Text on sheet

,

I am working on a tool that automaticly places certain views on sheets now i want to have a text on my sheet that tells me what elements are inside of the drawing, i already have a list of the different materials that are inside of the drawings as a String inside dynamo the problem i have now is how do i convert the string to a text and place it on a revit sheet? i dont know what i can do with the string, i see 3 possibility’s that are 1. making a legend with dynamo and automatically putting text on the legend and after that placing the legend on the sheet 2. Converting the string to a schedule and putting that on the sheet. 3. or is there a way to directly convert a string to text box and put that on a sheet? this is what i have now sheet:

These are all OOTB nodes, all I searched was “Text”.

I would also add though, adding text to a sheet isn’t very “BIM-ey”. If the elements in your views change, the text will not.

As @haganjake2 stated, thats not very BIM like.
So the question is; why place the text on the Sheet and not use Tags on the View?
