      # Renders an action for the form (such as a subit/reset button, or a cancel link).
      #
      # Each action is wrapped in an `<li class="action">` tag with other classes added based on the
      # type of action being rendered, and is intended to be rendered inside a {#buttons}
      # block which wraps the button in a `fieldset` and `ol`.
      #
      # The textual value of the label can be changed from the default through the `:label`
      # argument or through i18n.
      #
      # If using i18n, you'll need to provide the following translations:

      #     formtastic:
      #       actions:
      #         create: "Create new %{model}"
      #         update: "Save %{model}"
      #         cancel: "Cancel"
      #         reset: "Reset form"
      #         submit: "Submit"
      #
      # For forms with an object present, the `update` key will be used if calling `persisted?` on
      # the object returns true (saving changes to a record), otherwise the `create` key will be
      # used. The `submit` key is used as a fallback when there is no object or we cannot determine
      # if `create` or `update` is appropriate.
      #
      # @example Basic usage
      #   # form
      #   <%= semantic_form_for @post do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #     <%= f.actions do %>
      #       <%= f.action :submit %>
      #       <%= f.action :reset %>

      #     <% end %>
      #   <% end %>
