Mmm... you might want to be returning a value if you want only the
data from this action.
I was actually thinking that you create the HTML that shows the list,
and just use requestAction to grab the rendered list and pull it into
the app controller.
So you have a view called get_list.thtml in your /app/views/docs/
folder that shows the list, and you use
$this->requestAction('/docs/getList', array('return'));
in your layout file where you want the rendered doc list to be shown.

Look it up in the API for a better idea of how it works.

The HTML you want rendered where you call renderElement().
