title: Rails button_to vs. HTML Button Tag
body: <p>I am new to Rails and I am trying to add a few buttons to my page.  I see that you can use both the HTML tag or the rails "button_to."  However, I have not been able to find out the difference in each.</p>
  
  <p>From what I have seen in S.O., it seems that button_to makes it easier to call functions from the controller, etc.  However, HTML button seems easier to customize?  Is this true?  Are there other differences.</p>
  
  <p>Just looking to ensure I am doing the correct thing on my new project.  Thanks in advance.</p>
