Comment (by cavalierlife):

 This is one of those kinds of decisions that baffles me. In any case, the
 code located at http://www.blogmynotes.com/display-post-excerpt-twenty-
 seventeen-wordpress-theme/ works well, though make sure you upload
 template-parts/post/content.php to your child theme (including the folder,
 subfolder, and file) - don't overwrite the parent theme as that post
 suggests to do. Just in case that post gets deleted, here are the
 instructions.

 Duplicate the content.php file in template-parts/post/ and then replace
 the entry-content div with the following.


 {{{
 <div class="entry-content">
                 <?php
                         /* translators: %s: Name of current post */
                         if ( is_single() ) :
                         the_content( sprintf(
                                 __( 'Continue reading<span class="screen-
 reader-text"> "%s"</span>', 'twentyseventeen' ),
                                 get_the_title()
                         ) );

                         wp_link_pages( array(
                                 'before'      => '<div class="page-
 links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyseventeen' ),
                                 'after'       => '</div>',
                                 'link_before' => '<span class="page-
 number">',
                                 'link_after'  => '</span>',
                         ) );
                         else:

                         the_excerpt( sprintf(
                                 __( 'Continue reading<span class="screen-
 reader-text"> "%s"</span>', 'twentyseventeen' ),
                                 get_the_title()
                         ) );

                         wp_link_pages( array(
                                 'before'      => '<div class="page-
 links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyseventeen' ),
                                 'after'       => '</div>',
                                 'link_before' => '<span class="page-
 number">',
                                 'link_after'  => '</span>',
                         ) );
                         endif;


                 ?>
         </div><!-- .entry-content -->
 }}}
