Passing block text to md-sizenav

I have the following jade template:

extend default

block content
  .container(layout='row', flex='')
  md-sidenav.lightblue(md-is-locked-open='true')
    p.
      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, pri tacimates salutatus forensibus ea. Sit ceteros hendrerit
      consequuntur an, dicta tibique eu vis. Habeo impetus comprehensam te nam, in sit feugait
      principes. Cibo possit oblique qui cu, aperiri vivendum sed ne. Minim repudiare ne cum,
      ex graeco quodsi ius.

This extends a default.jade, which is referenced here:

.main-content
        md-toolbar
            h1 Angular Material Starter!
        block content

However, I can't seem to pass in a block of text to md-sidenav. -- it only accepts strings on the same line. Is there a way I can use the block of text, while still maintaining the cleanliness of the jade template?
