I tried something last night that I thought would work but it didn't quite turn out as I expected. I made a small rectangular text box with a fill color of black and I put one line of text that was white. I copied this text box and pasted it into a separate line as text above another paragraph. That way the black box with white reversed type would flow with the text. I've done this before in QuarkXPress. Well when I pasted the box I only got part of the text diplayed. Maybe someone else could try it and have better success. I only tried it once last night for the first time in Scribus quickly to see if I could do it.
I have done what Ryan says in QuarkXPress before and was looking for something similar in Scribus but I don't think there is a feature for rules above or below text. At least not that I found.
