The relative adverb 'how'
Sentence 2 and 3, for example, limit how readers can interpret.
I'd like to know it is right that "how" is a relative adverb rather than a conjunction introducing a nominal clause.
Thank you in advance for your help.

"how readers can interpret" is a noun clause (though it seems to be lacking something after "interpret"). "how" is an adverb, but not a relative one. In fact, I can't think of any examples of "how" as a relative adverb.
