I want the top panel of Ubuntu 18.04 to show the date, DOW and time.

I tried following this link ubuntuhandbook but now all I get is a long unintelligible string of letters and numbers.

Anybody have any experience with this?

Once you installed the gnome-shell extension clock-override Open the extension preferences and change the values as shown below..

enter image description here

When you click the link "What do all these %x codes mean?" at the bottom right side of Extension preferences dialogue..

this link GNOME Developer site opens, from which you can understand and adjust the format/formats according to your wish..

%F: equivalent to %Y-%m-%d (the ISO 8601 date format)
%A: the full weekday name according to the current locale
%T: the time in 24-hour notation with seconds (%H:%M:%S)

Another Customization example:
