 ending in `_tag` (such as `text_field_tag` and `check_box_tag`), generate just a

 input. When the form is submitted, the name will be passed along with the form

-value entered by the user for that field. For example, if the form contains `<%=

 When naming inputs, Rails uses certain conventions that make it possible to submit parameters with non-scalar values such as arrays or hashes, which will also be accessible in `params`. You can read more about them in [chapter 7 of this guide](#understanding-parameter-naming-conventions). For details on the precise usage of these helpers, please refer to the [API documentation](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormTagHelper.html).
