Why can’t I hyphenate words with dashes in them?
The problem (as KennyTM noted) is that LaTeX won’t hyphenate words with dashes in them. Luckily, there’s a standard package (part of ncctools) that addresses that very problem, called extdash. This defines new hyphen and dash commands that do not disrupt hyphenation, and which can allow or prevent line breaks at the hyphen/dash.

Luckily, there’s a standard package (part of ncctools) that addresses that very problem, called extdash.

I prefer to use it with the shortcutsoption, so I can use, e.g., \\-/rather than \\Hyphdash.
