it's likely not suggesting html as that is the file format of websites such as this
if it's hdmi then it along with dp (display port) are video output ports that you connect monitors to
both usb and thunderbolt would seem reasonable ports to connect input devices such as a digitizer for drawing
if you link to the product in question one could have an easier time deciphering what the tablet really needs

So, could I use the thunderbolt ports for this?
I would need to get an adapter to connect to my HDML plug.
The Device I am using is a Huion Kamvas 16. This is supplied with a three way split cable which are
My Mac has no HDML input.
Thank you, that is helpful.👍
