Rails slim "if" statements & nested tags

I have the following code in a rails slim layout:

- if content_for(:body_tag)
  yield :body_tag
- else
  body

The :body_tag template will typically involve something like body ng-controller='myAngularAppController', for example

The problem is that any subsequent commands I make won't be nested inside the body tag. If I write

- if content_for(:body_tag)
  yield :body_tag
- else
  body
.container
...

The body tag will close before the container starts. If I write

- if content_for(:body_tag)
  yield :body_tag
- else
  body
    .container
  ...

The container wont render at all when a :body-tag is specified.

I'm assuming this is a common problem. Any thoughts?

If the only thing that's going to be dynamic on the body is the ng-controller attribute, I would recommend accomplishing it like this:

body ng-controller=content_for(:controller)

Instead of specifying the entire tag with the :body_tag identifier, just specify the body tag statically (because that is static) and the dynamic controller you want to use with a :conroller (or whatever you want to call it) identifier.
