I have a page within Drupal administration where I want to bypass all of the normal Drupal theming and calculations to only show the HTML that's returned by the function. Is this possible?
$items['admin/special_blank_page'] = array(
'title' => 'PDF',
'page callback' => 'special_blank_page',
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
);
//...
function special_blank_page(){
$html ='<html><head></head><body>Only show this HTML</body></html>';
return $html;
}
Just to offer an alternative to Ayesh K's solution, you can set the delivery callback of your menu item
The function to call to package the result of the page callback function and send it to the browser. Defaults to drupal_deliver_html_page() unless a value is inherited from a parent menu item. Note that this function is called even if the access checks fail, so any custom delivery callback function should take that into account. See drupal_deliver_html_page() for an example.
delivery callback, see drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/54733#answer-138566

Yes, if you print the output instead of returning it.
function special_blank_page(){
$html ='<html><head></head><body>Only show this HTML</body></html>';
print $html;
}
