If a link in html does not start with a '/' character, your browser
assumes it is a relative URL to the current document.  When building the
new URL, it strips off the last element (the document), and then applies
the new relative path from the current directory.  In your case it sees
htmldocs/docname as the current path/file.  It removes docname, and then
applies the new relative URL to htmldocs, so you get
htmldocs/htmldocs/docname.  

You can either put a link to 'docname' in the document that is
referenced by htmldocs/docname, or else you can put a slash in front of
htmldocs.  Either will work.
