Converting a Word Document to Markdown in One Move

The Problem

- (void) initializeTextFieldInputView {
    UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
    datePicker.minuteInterval = 5;
    datePicker.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    [datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(dateUpdated:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
    self.textField.inputView = datePicker;
    
    //Add done button
