Woocommerce custom "My Account" Tab - Add Save button

Question

I've added a new tab into my "My-account" page on woocommerce using a hybrid of the following:

New Tab: Woocommerce add new tab to account page

New Content to tab: Add content to tab

I've been successful with this and it is working great, the new tab is there and so is the relevant content.

The issue I have is that the "Save Changes" button doesn't appear at the bottom of the new tab. I think I could probably hack around at the PHP code (copy the source code for the button from abother tab) to get the button in place - but I want to learn the correct way to do this.

Could anyone please give me some pointers?

Thanks Chris

Basically, if you output your custom form fields on a custom My Account tab, it means you're outside of my account form territory - you should wrap the fields in their own custom form (tag), and you also need a form handler function.

You can see an example implementation here - and you can find a relevant StackOverflow topic with a more detailed explanation here (I used this SO answer to write the afore-mentioned gist).
