How do you use the “WITH” clause in MySQL?

In Sql the with statement specifies a temporary named result set, known as a common table expression (CTE). It can be used for recursive queries, but in this case, it specifies as subset. If mysql allows for subselectes i would try

select t1.* 
from  (
            SELECT  article.*, 
                    userinfo.*, 
                    category.* 
            FROM    question INNER JOIN 
                    userinfo ON userinfo.user_userid=article.article_ownerid INNER JOIN category ON article.article_categoryid=category.catid
            WHERE   article.article_isdeleted = 0
     ) t1
ORDER BY t1.article_date DESC Limit 1, 3
