 When the Twenty Fourteen Ephemera widget is set to display the Video,
 Image, or a couple of other Post Formats and the user has created long-
 form content truncated by the <!--more--> tag, the widget ignores the
 truncation and displays the full post content when on a single post or
 page. This is counter to the expectation of the user.

 I'm filing this as an enhancement but it can be argued it is a bug.

 While this usage scenario may fall outside of the intended scope of the
 Post Formats and widget in question, it is a realistic usage scenario in
 the real world. Since there is no limit on what type of or length of
 content can be added to a post with a Post Format applied we have to
 assume users will create long form content and use the <!--more--> tag for
 truncation. This same user would expect the truncation to carry over to
 the Ephemera Widget when displayed on single post and page views.

 Proof of concept patch attached. Can likely be improved.
