How can I make a Magento Page completely blank?

I'm trying to create a custom Magento page for my module that is completely blank with only one string in the output. The page cannot have HTML tags like <html>, <body> and <head>.

I need this to make a API integration with Facebook, which scrap the page content to check if a string is valid, so I can't have any HTML code, only pure plain text.

Code so far: Controller:

public function facebookAction()
{
    $this->loadLayout();
    $this->renderLayout();
}

View:

<?php
$action = $this->getRequest()->getActionName();
echo Mage::getModel('chatbot/chatdata')->requestHandler($action);
?>

Now it's showing the string I want, but with HTML tags. If I remove the loadLayout and renderLayout, then it shows nothing.

How can I accomplish that?

You can call a different template from your controller action using 

public function facebookAction()
{
    $this->loadLayout();
    $this->getLayout()->getBlock('root')->setTemplate('page/your‌template.phtml');
    $this->renderLayout();
}

This overwrites the "root" node from your layout XML and replaces it with your own template.

you can remove diffrent section from your custom page using xml like this.

<reference name="root">
    <remove name="header"/>
    <remove name="content"/>
    <remove name="footer"/>
</reference>

Then you can add your custom code in your phtml file.
