Is it possible to do add arguments inside these blocks?

any = [[ ]]

or is it just for plain text?

text_to_display = [[

]]

read more of the manual ;-)
[[ ]] is an extended string deliminator so you can include endlines

[[
Hello
this is
a test
]];

is equivalent to

"Hello\nthis is\na test\n";

you can not include arguments in there like php. You can include arguments in [ ] which is used for indexing tables.

yep, they only take strings.
for example
print("lua board")
would give an error on the " in the url.
you would either need 2 use format 2 make all the escapes or do it yourself by hand.
this is much easyer.
print([[lua board]])
if you search your book for [[ you'll see that it's mostly used on website's or 2 show program pieces.
