Add block support to button_tag helper
As per the HTML 4.01 spec: Buttons created with the BUTTON element function just like buttons created with the INPUT element, but they offer richer rendering possibilities: the BUTTON element may have content. For example, a BUTTON element that contains an image functions like and may resemble an INPUT element whose type is set to "image", but the BUTTON element type allows content. Since rich content is the main purpose of the <button> element, it makes sense for the button_tag helper to accept a block. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-BUTTON http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/the-button-element.html#the-button-element Signed-off-by: Santiago Pastorino and Emilio Tagua <santiago+emilioe@wyeworks.com>
