H&O Magento 2 Advanced Template Hints module

Adding php 8.2 compatibility...

Ho_Templatehints extends the default Magento template hints.

• Easily accessible with muscle memory ?ath=1.
• Shows hints for Templates, AbstractBlocks (Blocks), Containers and UI Components.
• No layout interference: Using css outline instead of borders of other HTML elements, so it doesn't f'up the layout.

Hints for hidden elements

You can't show hints for a hidden element, for that purpose there is hint($0):

hint($0)

Inner Workings

The module adds an additional HTML attribute to the outer most element of a layout element.
